Water Science Hermes Goes Environ-Mental Slapstick science that is cloud kicking, tree hugging, singing in the rain fun!   Tannum Sands SS Brilliant! Eagle Junction SS From the realms of ABC Radio National’s Science Show, popular character Hermes comes to life in a madcap science adventure of unearthly delights. Hermes Goes Environ-Mental follows the story of three children with their ‘heads in the clouds’ as they learn about Earth’s water cycle. In a time when water conservation is such a hot topic in Queensland, this production also offers practical ideas in what students can do to help conserve ‘the precious drop’. These are big science ideas in a slapstick comedy package – certainly not your average science lesson!
