Australia's Science Forum

I know it is a long way off but my HoD has asked me to start thinking of ideas for science week so he can apply for a grant. This year it is on
‘Deep Blue: innovations for the future of our oceans’
Any ideas for lunch time activities and experiments for primary kids?

Kathryn please try the post above called Open day ideas, also good for science week

I was really hoping for some ideas more specific to this years theme - Oceans - innovations and sustainability.

I am running: How do whales stay warm, the difference in density between tap water and salt water using eggs, warm and cold ocean currents and having the students cleaning up an oil spill and rubbish in a water tank.

We're doing making an oil rig, oil spills and feathers, ocean acidification & it's effects, pond water.

My coordinator made, what I think, was a sensible decision, and essentially cancelled Science Week activities. This week has been hectic with increased cleaning being mandated so I am so very thankful we don't have Science Week "fun" added into the mix.
Anyone else gave it a miss?

We've given science week a miss as well.
