Are angels made of atoms? If so, what kind? Argon? Rubidium? Promethium? We didn’t get that far at Bridge Road School last Wednesday, but we did learn the Periodic Table, which is usually not covered until Year 10. Pretty amazing considering Bridge Road is for kids who need some extra help navigating their way through primary school. They LOVED learning about atoms. And I had no idea those wings were behind me so thank you Alan - the body surfing teacher - for capturing this happy snap while I was in “full flight”. Made my day 😇
Last school visit of 2020 and it was absolutely awesome!!! Margaret Jurd College is a non-government school for teenagers who need an alternative to mainstream secondary education. The students were riveted for a full 90 minutes watching liquid nitrogen demonstrations and explosions and learning where all the carbon atoms in exhaled carbon dioxide come from, and seeing how much sugar there is in soft drink, and much much more. Thank you to Rose Soto and all the teachers and especially all the STUDENTS for making my final school visit for this weird and wonderful year such a rewarding one which I’ll remember fondly for many years to come. Keep learning, keep smiling and keep breathing 🤓
FACT! Arncliffe Primary was founded 9 years before the Periodic Table was discovered. Today, we explored and exploded elements number 1, 2, 6, 7 and 8. Many thanks to Mrs Ghacham and Miss Tosevska for organizing a fabulous day and to all the teachers for your enthusiasm and most importantly to all the STUDENTS for being as stoked about science as me 🤓
One hundred and fifty 7-year-olds bouncing off the walls frothing on SCIENCE... thank you Miss Skinner and all the Year 2 teachers at Blaxcell Street Public School and most importantly, to the STUDENTS for a supercharged morning of learning and fun. My face is still hurting from smiling 🤓
Thank you Ms Zdral and all the Milpera State High teachers, staff and most importantly, students, for a fantastic finish to a fabulous week. All the pupils are speakers of languages other than English when they arrive so we connect right from the start... so rewarding sharing my experience, showing them laser beams and liquid nitrogen and explaining that a career in science is a real opportunity for all of them. Keep smiling my happy friends, keep learning and most of all, have fun 🤓
Thank you for a super fun morning of atomic antics and Periodic Table shenanigans to Mrs Hynes and all the Year 5 teachers and, most importantly, all the stellar Year 5 students at Stella Maris on the sparkling Sunshine Coast... I love your enthusiasm for science!!! Keep smiling, keep learning and stay awesome 🤩
Best school billboard message ever! Thank you for having me today Kentville State School! What a blast singing the Periodic Table song with you and blowing stuff up with elements number 1 (H) 7 (N) and 26 (Fe) to boot 💥 Keep smiling, keep learning and keep breathing and have a super spring break 🤓
