Mixing two or more chemicals together can sometimes lead to surprising outcomes. Have you ever been zapped by a door handle or had your hair stand up on a trampoline? What materials will you select to create static electricity and how can you use it to make something move Which substances will you choose to go head-to-head in the float tank? Join us at the Science Bar as we explore the mysteries of density and discover together what features make substances sink or float? How do different materials compare? What can you do to affect the rate of change? Test our your ideas for changing solids into liquids. Things are heating up at the Science Bar. What would a marshmallow look like in the vacuum of outer space? Use your science skills to predict and explore how changing air pressure can lead to observable changes in a variety of objects. How can changing properties change the pitch and volume of the sounds we make? Let's make some noise at the Science Bar as you test out your ideas. If you started again, what would you do differently? What would you do the same?ĭo all things tumble in the same way when moving down a slope? Select different materials and choose the angle of the slope as you investigate how we can change the way things move.

If using repurposed cardboard, what type of cardboard would be right for the different parts of the chair?.What shapes and structure will make the chair strong and able to support the user?.
What is the purpose of the different parts of a chair?. What are some real-world examples of different types of chairs? Do any have moving parts?. Who are you designing your chair for? What does the chair need to do?. We highly recommend you purchase tickets online in advance, particularly during school holiday peak period to avoid disappointment.ĭo you have a favourite chair?
