SCIENCE was made fun at an Emerald school holiday program, encouraging kids to release their inner mad scientist.
Kids aged 5 – 12 were invited to help solve crimes with forensic methods at a school holiday event held at Emerald Library on Monday 29 June.
The program, Super Sleuth with the Scientwists, saw kids examine different unknown substances as well as examine different objects under the close gaze of a magnifying glass.
