Our Year 3 students had a wonderful time on their recent excursion to SciTech. The trip included The Perfect Firestorm show, The Planetarium and free time to explore the exhibits.

The Perfect Firestorm show explored how weather can affect the way a fire behaves, how they build and why fires get out of control.  There was also an investigation on how hot, dry and windy conditions can create the perfect firestorm, using science demonstrations to illustrate how each variable makes a difference. 

We had the opportunity to relax in reclined chairs in the Planetarium and were taken on a journey into space.  The students were fascinated by the different planets in our solar system and how many galaxies are out there.
