Centralian Middle School will celebrate National Science Week by conducting fun experiments for students during lunch time.

We will make fireproof paper, rainbow lemonade, large-scale elephant toothpaste, test physics with a bowling ball to the face and have a go at eating insects.

On Monday, students will make pictures on paper and then soak it in a mixture of alcohol and water. When it is set alight, the paper won't burn! On Tuesday, students will attempt to create a rainbow lemonade by comparing densities. Wednesday is the day for explosions, so a large elephant-toothpaste experiment on the oval it is! On Thursday we will see which teachers and students trust physics and will stay in place when they see one flying towards them on a pendulum. Then on Friday, more food as we talk about food sustainability and students can have a go at eating insects and look at how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have included insects in their diet.
