National Science Week Activities for PLHS Students
Next week is National Science Week and we have an EPIC lineup of lunchtime activities planned to celebrate this year’s theme: “Decoding the Universe – Exploring the Unknown with Nature’s Hidden Language”. 
Our incredibly talented and knowledgeable Science faculty members are giving up their lunch breaks to run hands-on, minds-on activities — we just need YOU (our students) to come along! 
Here’s what’s on each day:
Monday – SCINEMA + DNA Lollie Lab
Short film + build your own DNA strand with lollies!
Tuesday – Fibonacci & Golden Ratio in Nature
Explore patterns in plants, pinecones and shells — discover the maths behind beauty.
Wednesday – Brain Break Science Quiz
Kahoot-style trivia showdown! Prizes up for grabs! 
Thursday – Hidden Codes: Cryptic Science Lab
Make binary bracelets, decode Morse messages, and reveal UV secrets!
Friday – SCINEMA Encore + DNA Art Challenge
Watch. Reflect. Create. Science meets creativity.
There’ll be lollies 
, prizes 
, hands-on fun 
and SCIENCE! 
Bring a friend with you!
Daily reminders will be sent to students via DayMap
All sessions are at lunchtime in the Dem Lab
