Science Centre

Our trip to the Science Centre was quite fun and educational.  Students were introduced to simple machines and they got a chance to explore and work with materials to reinforce their learning. This was a great introduction to this unit in Science as students will be using simple machines to create their own product. These will be shared once they are completed.
