6th Class completed a Virtual Mad Scientist Showcase again this year. Their experiments were recorded and the links were forwarded to each class so they could watch them. It was an amazing show and the class did a great job explaining each experiment.
Well done everybody, it was certainly a Science Week to remember! ๐งโ๐ฌ๐ฉโ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐งช๐
