Material Girls

As part of "Material Girls", the Year 9 girls had some time in the laboratories.

"I didn't know much about materials before today, but I have learnt a lot of interesting and surprising things"
"I didn't know very much about materials before I came, but I will now think about what I have learnt and how it is around us. I was very surprised about how much there was to do with materials"
"Microscopy and ultrasound very enjoyable"
"Understanding these activities was challenging but I managed to pick up most of it and it was very interesting"
