Questacon Science Excursion

 

On Tuesday the 15th of August, Awaba Public School attended the Questacon Science Exhibition at Coal Point Community Centre. We were greeted by volunteers at 10.30 and taken on a bush walk to explain local conservation efforts and the eradication of a weed pest. Students saw evidence of scientific study in a quadrat.This is an area where scientists section off a parcel of land and use it as a control. We learnt about the native fauna and flora found in the Coal Point area. Students were then treated to a wonderful array of hands on exhibits to get them thinking, questioning and learning. We sincerely thank the Questacon staff and volunteers, parents and staff and also a huge thank you to the YMCA for transporting our students to and from the centre. Here are some happy snaps!
