Today Carol from CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research organisation) presented a program called Lab on Legs. We got to be young scientists and through hands on activities the children got to investigate ‘push and pull’. They discovered that these were forces that could be used in many ways. The children investigated magnets, waddling ducks, a balancing bee and moving a car. They were able to make predictions and came to understand that making mistakes was a good thing because it meant you could keep on investigating!
