Aroha 6: Exploring the Science Roadshow with Team Aroha!

Kia ora koutou katoa Aroha 6 whanau....

This term team Aroha's integrated inquiry plan is based on Mad Science! In support of this we travelled by bus on an excursion to a Science Roadshow situated at Sancta Maria College.

This Science Roadshow sure was fun and exciting.  Definitely was a new interactive learning experience for all of us.  We enjoyed engaging and participating with the live shows, hands on exhibits that enabled our learners to extend their knowledge of the nature of science, technology, engineering and mathematics....
