Samuel and Rocko get stuck into the Science Show!

Samuel and Rocko get stuck into the Science Show! Both come away with big prizes. Here is Samuel's story.

When my family and I found out the museum was doing a science show I was immediately hooked. I had many options for what to do but in the end I chose electrostatic attraction. 

One of the criteria was to make a video explaining the science and showing off the experiment. My dad and I spent ages story boarding and thinking about ideas to put in it. After we finally got our ideas sorted it was time to film.

My mum and I spent 3 days deciding, making, practicing scenes and researching our topic. Our final video was the best we could do and with only 1 hour left of the competition I entered the video and hoped that our time spent making the video paid off!

3 days later I came to the price giving hoping that I would get a prize, it took a while for "the science guy" to announce all the names, finally my name was called....  I had won first place! 

The prize was worth all the hard work I put in. It was valued at $750! I'm glad I did the competition and hope I get to try out next year! Click on the link below to watch my Youtube video!
