This year ANSTO held its incredibly popular Easter school science workshops. The workshops were a fantastic opportunity for budding young scientists to participate in some educational, tasty and slightly messy Easter fun.
Destined to be a hit with sweet tooths and junior scientists alike, the 80-minute workshops gave kids the chance to:
- Compete in an egg drop, designing ways to protect an egg then dropping it to see if it worked
- Create edible chocolate ‘‘slime’’
- Make colour patterns with the Smarties colour wheel
“These workshops were a slimy and tasty way of getting kids excited about science and the art of conducting an experiment,” said Rod Dowler from ANSTO’s Discovery Centre.
