Science Weeks at GAP

Notice: This article is kept for historical reference. Some details may be outdated.

The children at the GAP are enjoying our science weeks.  They have been experimenting with liquids and solids, and mixing them together. What happens when you drop a pebble into water? What about salt in water? What about water into flour?  How about oil? Coloured marker pens? Sand? Sugar?

Which led us to our next question:  Do scientists always end up covered in  powder and standing in a sticky puddle?  Our teachers have a scientific hypothesis about this!

Looking forward to our visit to Questacon next week.
