Science Lessons and Soggy Paper Towels...

This week seems to be flying by! I can't believe it's Thursday tomorrow!


We had our first Science seminar today and it was great! After a short lecture focused on getting us, in groups, to discuss why science is important we got onto an investigation of our own! We were tasked to investigate "Which brand of paper towel is the best?". In typical primary school fashion we all delved in, pouring water onto paper towels, squirting syringes and wandering around campus gathering customer feedback on a selection of kitchen towels!!


After all the fun was had...and cleared away...it was great to see what the different groups had done during their investigation. It was all designed for us to realise that even though you give the same instructions to 30 children, they will all approach a problem/investigation in a different way.


We have a lecture on our first masters credit assignment tomorrow which is going to be interesting!!


Well, have a good evening,


Take Care
