Primary Excursion: Ranger Jamie – Energy Changes & Properties of Matter

On Thursday, 14 May, Primary students attended an engaging and hands-on science excursion with Ranger Jamie in Shellharbour, exploring Energy Changes and the Properties of Matter.

Ranger Mani captivated students with a series of exciting experiments, giving everyone the opportunity to participate and learn through observation and inquiry. The session began with a visual demonstration of how gases work, as students helped inflate balloons and observed the changes taking place.

Students were particularly amazed by the liquid nitrogen experiment, where the addition of hot water created a dramatic reaction. They observed how extreme temperature changes can affect matter, including freezing effects and the production of gas powerful enough to inflate and pop balloons.

Throughout the day, students enthusiastically created slime, soda bags, air rockets, and chemical rockets. These activities were both fun and highly educational, encouraging curiosity and active participation.

This excursion provided a valuable opportunity to extend students’ understanding of solids, liquids and gases, building on the concepts explored in their Science lessons. It was wonderful to see such enthusiasm for learning, and we commend our students for their excellent behaviour and engagement throughout the day.

Thank you, also, to our wonderful volunteer drivers.
