Four creative students from Table Cape Primary School will travel all the way from Burnie to Sydney on 19 August to attend the Eureka Prizes Award Dinner.

Their stunning clay animation Eureka! shows why Mr Archimedes had such a problem taking a bath and why buoyancy can be such a troublesome thing.
Be sure to also check out the youngest ever Eureka Prizes entrant. Five year old Aydin Neighbour from St Finbarrs Catholic Primary School in Byron Bay enthusiastic accounts how a volcano works. Aydin was highly commended by the judges for his efforts.
