TwistED Science Excursion
Throughout the day, students explored various interactive exhibits and activities that brought science concepts to life. From creating bubbles, to testing their reaction times and experimenting with air pressure, the activities were designed to engage students and demonstrate how science plays a role in the world around us.
The highlight of the day was the 'Method or Madness' workshop, where the students became junior scientists, working with real scientific equipment and materials to conduct experiments. During this session, students were asked to predict the outcomes of various scientific experiments involving exploding canisters and chemical reactions.
Then it was their turn to put on the safety goggles and conduct an experiment that showed how absorbent water can be when combined with a special polymer, transforming it into something that looked and felt like real snow! Students watched in amazement as just a small amount of powder expanded rapidly when water was added, turning into fluffy 'snow' in seconds.
TwistED Science was a great opportunity for the students to apply some of what they have been learning in the classroom during STEM.
