GALS - Girls As Leaders in STEM… Project update!
On Monday 23rd May, Ruby, Layla, Meg and myself participated in some Water Testing with a local scientist, Lachlan Farrington. Lachie showed us how to use the testing equipment and it was a lot of fun. Lachie showed us how to find the temperature of the water, the PH, salinity level, and the amount of oxygen that was in the water! The water quality wasn’t great, but it was nice to see a fair bit of water in the creek after a long summer.
We used the school closure day to come to school and have the opportunity to get into the creek, get muddy and wet, and have lots of fun. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any water rats (Rakali) in the creek, but it was a very nice experience.
Soon, we are meeting with Jarred Orbst, who will also help us with our project. A big thank you to Lachie who helped us out a lot, and we learnt so much from him.
