On Tuesday the Year 3 students took part in a ‘Slimy Science’ online incursion with Ecolinc Science and Technology Innovations Centre. Students were able to make slime along with the presenter during the session. They investigated what makes something a solid, liquid or gas and used the slime to investigate the states of matter. The presenter demonstrated how to make a bath bomb and used this to show how chemical reactions can produce a gas from a solid. The incursion was supported with demonstrations, film clips and information on how some of these things can be done at home.
The students had a fabulous time making the slime and trying to get it off their hands!
