They do experiments like making electric motors, using levers and pulleys and purifying their own DNA. Recently, the school magazine discussed the visit by Joel (and Mitchell and Ann) in July: Science Week August 11-18 A feature of our science programs is our association with Dr Joel Mackay who works at Sydney University and is part of the CSIRO national program that creates and supports long-term partnerships between...
