Gumby the gumtree, Gotcha the goanna and their friends are keeping an eye on the weather. It’s been very hot lately and there’s been no rain, but what will today bring? Is there a change coming?
Using our observation skills, we’ll identify different types of weather and use our senses to predict changes in the weather.
In this interactive science show, students are entertained by friendly puppeteers and our well known puppets to build an understanding of how changes in the weather can affect our everyday life as well as the survival or other living things. This show also introduces young students to the concept of being an audience member.
