Giant Science - a day for primary school students
It's not Magic - it's Science!
The Giant Science program brings the wonders of science to primary school students and their teachers.
A range of hands-on activities will be offered from across the science disciplines including hands-on workshops that involve DNA, forensics, human bones, glowing worms, mummies and more!
When is Giant Science?
Giant Science normally runs every 2 years. The most recent event was held in April 2011, from 9:30am - 2:30pm, and was $10 per student (GST free).

What happens at Giant Science?
Giant Science is a big day for the students. It's their chance to really experience science at the University of Sydney. They will start their day with a welcome from the Dean, Professor Trevor Hambley, followed by an amazing Science Show. There are rumours that this show might just include an air-powered cornflake-sprinkler for food-fighting devastation and a snake! 
Following on from the show students will have the opportunity to attend two workshops which will reveal the excitement of science to these future budding boffins.
If this isn't enough to whet their interest the day will finish with the closing ceremony with Dr Karl Kruszelnicki.
