πŸ”SCIENCE WEEK! πŸ§ͺ

Everyone's favourite scientist, Professor Stupendous, visited the Toowoomba Anglican School this week to share exciting hands-on workshops with the primary years students. Exploring the theme β€˜Creative Kitchen Questions for Inquisitive Kids’, the students participated in fun experiments, and explored a range of scientific concepts while learning to think like real scientists by observing, questioning, predicting and experimenting.

The centre learned all about air pressure, with Ted's Marshmallow Cannon and Canister Rockets!
