It’s been a busy month for our Statewide team with another Primary science tour through the Great Southern region. . This month our Primary Science tour visited 14 schools in the Great Southern region, investigating physical sciences by using toys to explore motion and test the laws of physics! 🚗⚡ . Thanks to our program partner @lifeatriotinto for helping us engage and inspire WA students in STEM.
