First Family Science Day ever in Lingnan

To promote science education to the general public especially the Tuen Mun community, the Science Unit organised the inaugural Family Science Day with the RTC Gaia School on 10 March for 30 parents and primary students.

 

Prof Mark McGinley, Head of the Science Unit and students of his Service-Learning course “Ecology: The Science of Environmental Issues” welcomed the group and shared knowledge and ideas about the theme “Float and Sink” through a variety of simple yet interesting experiments.  Acting as scientists, both primary students and their parents were highly engaged in exploring factors in the floating or sinking of different objects in water, and had great fun in science education.
