SCIENCE

Our students are settling into their Science classes for the year as they busily experiment, investigate, observe and explore the world around them. 

Turtle Club has been off to a fantastic start so far this year, with students coming in and helping feed our two turtles Sheldon and Franklin, as well as help look after our stick insects. If you would like to be a part of the Turtle Club then please send Mr Dunkley a message on Teams. Turtle Club runs every Wednesday during lunch. 

Our year 9 students have recently completed a sheep’s brain dissection, looking at the different lobes, white and grey matter as well as the brain stem. Students are exploring the function and structure of neurons to explore how signals are sent from the brain around the body. 

Our year 12 Chemistry students have been investigating rates of reaction, looking at how changing one variable will affect the outcome of a reaction. They have explored this by creating elephants toothpaste.
