03.01.2022 Wow! We have learnt so much this week! Thank you to all the Junior Scientists who joined Prime Sci and OzGrav - ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery to learn all about what makes up materials, the properties of materials, and what happens when we mix and try to unmix materials. We have learnt about microbes and viruses, and the universe, black holes and gravitational waves! Join us for Week Two to return to exploring the Universe, learn about the unique e...lements of Earth, how to keep our waterways clean and healthy for the future, the properties of sound and light, the physics of heat and the physics of motion.

01.01.2022 Im stoked to be a Chief Counter for BirdLife Australia and you can be a counter too. The Aussie Backyard Bird Count 2020 is just around the corner. Its the best... way any of us can get involved with some citizen science and help add valuable data nationwide about our amazing birds and their distribution.The whole family can be involved and all it takes is 20 mins sometime between the 19th -25th October. You can join me by registering here ; https://aussiebirdcount.org.au/?Costa You can do your count in your backyard, at the local park, at nan and pops place, wherever you like. If you dont have the app you can always fill out the forms on the website but the main ingredient you need is 20 minutes to sit or stand and observe what birds are around that location. There is a live launch of the event of Monday 19th and Ill let you now about that on the day. Heres links to the Birdlife Australia Website and Aussie Backyard BirdCount Website, also the Facebook Instagram and Twitter pages for all the info you need to know and lots of great facts. Ill be doing a few counts over the week and will go live on one of them and we can talk about our bird counting experiences. Let the family know, the grand kids, nieces, nephews, neighbours and have some fun supporting our birdlife and recording our biodiversity. After the year that has been this data is even more valuable to see just how our birdlife has faired given the bushfires and ongoing drought.
