Hello everyone, Although I have been silent on the blog all through summer, SciFun wasn't silent. During our visit to Finland for a month, I gave a science show in the English Playschool, Tampere. I didnt go prepared from here to give the science show so had to collect all the materials and plan the experiments from a little village named "Lestijarvi". It was the second after they opened the playschool after summer break but we had a blast. We made CD hovercraft (my little guy was my helper), made a device to make chicken sounds from a paper cup, ofcourse had to do volcanoes and balloon experiments.
Apart from the children and the teachers, we had three special guests at the show. One of them is a key person from the new LUMATE organization in the city. Lumate is organizing science clubs for young children to promote Science. YAY!. Ofcourse one of them is my most favorite high-school teacher of all times...Ms.Kaarina from Tampere IB high school. The third person was from Finn-Brit association Ms. Tarja. I wished I had half the energy as she had and is full of ideas:)
After the science show, we talked and I presented an idea of having a competition between high schools in Tampere during the Science Week this year and is received very warmly by everyone. After a few more long-distance discussions, the idea became firm and I just sent details of the competition and all the information required to send out to schools.
Stay tuned for another post with details about it...
