SCHOOLS across Casey celebrated Science Week last week as students discovered what makes the world go round.
Beakers and Bunsen burners adorned classrooms as students of all ages tried different tricks and tests to demonstrate just how even the simplest of everyday items function.
The wonderful world of science had students at many schools in awe as even the simplest of contraptions and experiments kept students intrigued.
Eumemmerring Primary School and Narre Warren South P12 College were two of the schools that participated in science events, with the P12 College holding a combined visual arts, science and technology expo called The Vast Blast last Thursday, 18 August.
Trains, models, race tracks, inventions, games, paintings, ceramics and jewellery all made by students were on display at the expo.
