To celebrate Science Week in August, St Paul’s Catholic School hosted a Science Fair for students and families. Class teachers provided hands-on science experiences in the school hall, with Mrs Jones along with Year 5/6 students running each stall. A papermaking stall was set up and hosted by “Garbage Gwen” Harper and the team at the Brighton Council.

There was plenty to see and do, with cloud dough making, bath bomb chemical reactions, magic beans, density columns, taxidermy animals from the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG), cup stacking, catapult making and periodic table exploration.

The students and their families had a great time seeing what was on offer, as they deepened their understanding of all things science.
