Science – Forces (Push & Pull)

Today 2JW & 2CZ visited the MUDLA and Kuyangani to explore fishing rods and how force applied to a simple machine (reel) can create a pulling force. Children were able to take apart the reels and look at the mechanics inside.

Following this we potted some brand new plants that will eventually be planted around the Billabong. This opened great dialogue regarding what a billabong is and why plants play an important part to our aquatic ecosystem.
