16th January 2015: Giraffe on a Raft!
A giraffe, on a raft, yesterday.
On 16th January, Mrs Aitken’s and Miss Andersen’s Year 1 classes met Joe and Emma… and a raft full of giraffes.
You balanced, you tested, you floated. You probably did quite a lot of sinking too. You made predictions, and you made a mess. OK, I’m guessing you made a mess – I’m writing this at Think Lab so I don’t actually know, but Joe made quite a mess trying the activity out yesterday, so I think it’s a fair guess you did too.
Click the picture of brave Gemma testing the rafts for a reminder, and some thoughts about how what you did today connects to what professional scientists and engineers are doing every day.

Joe will be back at Southridge in March with meteorites and a planetarium. See you then!
