Surfing scientist speaks

Students in Years 7, 8 and 9 from Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina Campus were entertained on Wednesday, March 9, by surfing scientist Mr Rubin Mearman.

"Rubin demonstrated many climate change principles with the aid of some amazing experiments some of which called for student participation," said the school's acting head science teacher Mr Brendan Medley.

Mr Medley said the evidence for climate change was also explained using an "interesting Powerpoint presentation".

According to Mr Medley, the presentation enthralled the students, many of whom waited around afterwards to ask Mr Mearman questions.
