STEAM day

26 excited Year 3 to 6 students attended the STEAM day at Pine Rivers SHS on Wednesday 29^thMay.  The students were nominated by their class teachers for this Science extension opportunity.

The students participated in field work and classroom theory lessons.  In their field work they completed environmental testing of water, soil and the environment (wind speed, barometric pressure and relative humidity).

In their classroom work they measured the PH and conductivity of water samples using test strips and probes.  They began to grow alfalfa in different liquids, with varying PH levels and brought the alfalfa back to school in petri dishes to observe.  They used microscopes to study their hair and skin and then micro-organisms in pond water.

All of the students showed exemplary manners, listening skills and co-operation, demonstrating the ‘Dayboro Way’.  The Science Teacher, Mrs A, specifically congratulated the students on their thinking skills and behaviour and welcomed them back anytime.   Great work kids!
