In terms 3 and 4, the boys have been doing workshops at the CSIRO Discovery Centre.
They have done the following topics and unfortunately, I haven’t had my camera with me most of time! I’ll put in some images from other occasions when we have been at CSIRO/the Science Festival doing similar things just to liven up the text!
Usually, the staff at the Discovery Centre spends some time explaining the "science" of the topic to be discussed before then going into the lab where they get to do some hands-on investigation.
Electricity & Magnetism (Zac and Adam)
Turn your students into bright sparks by introducing them to the science
behind electricity. Students learn about static electricity, circuits,
conductors, insulators, switches, magnets and magnetic forces.

Robotics (Stevie)
Students explore robotics by programming a robotic vehicle (LegoT RCX unit)
to perform various tasks, which become more complex as the workshop
progresses. Great for encouraging problem-solving.

Working Scientifically (Stevie)
What makes science special – the scientific process! Students work through
six work stations to develop a firm understanding of the scientific process.

Body Works (all boys)
Students probe a variety of body systems through a range of hands-on work stations. Real animal organs are included!
Phantastic Physics (Zac and Stevie)
When push comes to shove you’ve got to know your physics. Students use the scientific process to investigate the physics behind inertia, motion and magnetic forces.

Cool Chemistry for Juniors (Stevie & Zac)
Chemistry is always fun, but it’s better hands-on. Students investigate slime-making, acids and bases, energy in chemical reactions, hydrophilic polymers and other strange chemical phenomena.

Simple Machines (Stevie & Zac)
Students are introduced to structures, forces, levers, gears, pulleys, wheels and axles and simple mechanisms. Includes exploration, investigation and problem-solving activities.
