The Lab

Bombs away!
The Lab

Skills for learning, life and the world of work

Explore the world of chemical sciences

It’s time to become mad scientists! (Crazy wigs optional).

‘The Lab’ is designed to get students thinking about how science is in everything, and how we use our science skills everyday!

Students team up to conquer various science experiments, uncovering the magic of materials and reactions. The skills they acquire from the experiments pave the way for an 'Every Day Science Challenge.' Integrating science and business skills, students team up to create their very own bath bomb, customising the ideal colours, scents, and logos – and the best part?...They get to take it home!

This action packed day is linked to the Chemical Sciences Unit. It is also an enterprising program, with students developing key skills in teamwork, critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, curiosity and innovation.

Just wanted to let you know the Year Sixes had the best time today. We had really great feedback from the kids and their reflections in their science books showed just how much they learned. Thanks heaps.

Here's some student feedback also:

I had so much fun learning more about reactions in science and making our own bath bombs, I can't wait to take it home to show my mum.
