Science

Our very cute, resident turtles, Sheldon and Franklin received a fancy tank upgrade over the school holidays. They now have a lot more space to swim around in and are very happy about their new surrounds. 

Our students in Years 7 – 10 have settled back into Remote Learning with their weekly Science lessons. Year 7 students are busy “classifying” their wardrobes and other areas of their home. Year 8s are exploring the stages of digestion which include analysing what is occurring in their mouth as they chew on a slice of bread. Year 9s are developing their understanding of relationships within ecosystems and the impact human activity is having on the environment around them. 

Our VCE students have been busy onsite. In Unit 3 Biology they took their knowledge of the function of the different immune cells and applied to different characters from The Avengers. From ‘Hulk’rophages (Macrophages) engulfing foreign enemies to Cy-THOR-toxic T cells initiating apoptosis of host cells, students were able to make links and practical connections to remember this complicated aspect of the course in an engaging and fun way!
