25.01.2022 LIGHT COLOUR MIXING... What a fantastic (and unique) device to demonstrate that white light is composed of all the colours of the rainbow (visible spectrum), and mixing of the three primary colours of light (red, green and blue). Colour mixing (additive) with light is often hard for students to understand when compared to colour mixing (subtractive) with pigment as it seems counter-intuiative. https://www.madaboutscience.com.au//tri-colour-experimenta

24.01.2022 Connect straws to make a super-duper long straw... Can you still drink from it?

24.01.2022 BEST BUBBLES = FAIRY ORIGINAL If you look close enough, there is so much in a soap bubble - rainbow colours swirl as light reflects off both sides, the thin film twists and bends to reduce surface area. We have tried A LOT of bubble recipes over the years... What are your tips and tricks for best bubble success?... Photo by David Portillo https://www.madaboutscienceincursions.com.au//super-bubb/

I was with Anneleise this morning and she was wonderful, very engaging and the students loved it. Thanks for all your help with postponing and setting this up." ~ Alexandria Community School... "Such a great lesson! Children loved talking about science. Loved the hands-on activities. Very good for tactile learners." ~ St Canices Primary "The presentation was engaging, hands on and relevant to classroom learning. Will definitely be booking again for next year and recommending to other teachers! Thank you!" ~ Holy Cross PS, Glenwood "The students were very engaged & activities suited to the age group.

19.01.2022 Science trick for the weekend... Turn matchsticks from non-magnetic to MAGNETIC by striking and burning the head When the head is burnt it undergoes a chemical reaction from iron oxide (non magnetic) to pure iron (magnetic).
