Term 3 has been a very busy in Science with National Science Week taking place 13th-21st of August. We had a week full of lunchtime activities all around the theme of glass! Students had the opportunity to create sun catchers, kaleidoscopes and complete a range of experiments looking at the… Read More

Term 2 has been a very busy place in Science, with classes settling in and completing a range of hands on experiments all themed around Chemistry. Our year 7 students have been learning all about mixtures and completing an array of experiments exploring separation techniques. This has led them to… Read More

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… Read More

A huge welcome to all of our students as we begin another exciting year at Mooroolbark College. We look forward to spending many lessons together with our students exploring and experimenting to find out how the universe works. We would also like to welcome Darren Jackson, Christie Godby and Tooba… Read More

In Science we celebrated the return to onsite learning by engaging students with experiments and activities. Students were able to continue the development of their practical skills in a fun way.   Our Year 7 students used water beads to explore the differing effects of hot and cold water as well as salt and sugar solution on their size. This led to… Read More

During August, we celebrated National Science Week. The theme was ‘Food: Different by Design’ and whilst we had a week full of activities planned at school we quickly flipped over to our remote version. We had a large number of students participate during the week and we would like to… Read More

Our students are back in the science labs and this means they are back developing their scientific practical skills. Our year 12 Environmental Science class explored sustainable energy. They developed an understanding of the importance of meeting today’s energy needs by not depleting the resources for future generations. Sustainable energy often creates little harm to the environment and once set up can be a low-cost option. Students explored creating electricity from wind. There are many… Read More

The practical component of Science is often the most appealing part for students. They get to use equipment that is unfamiliar and it allows them to gain a deeper understanding of the theory taught. Our year 7 students have been learning about separation techniques used in laboratories, desalination plants, sewage… Read More

Another successful Open Night and in Science we had the opportunity to once again show off some of the amazing work our students have done in their classes so far this year.  A huge thank you to our student volunteers on the night, Dylan Lamb, Hannah Philpott, Scarlett Wheeler, Gabrielle Bouwhuis, Owen Wahrenberger, Mikayla Knight, Anabel Floyd and Blake Hazeldene. Each of… Read More

Our students are settling into their Science classes for the year as they busily experiment, investigate, observe and explore the world around them.    In Year 11 Psychology, students have applied their knowledge of the human brain to construct play-dough models. Once developed, their brains received damage to the lobes and association areas. Students then predicted the likely behaviour of their patient after injury.     Recently, our… Read More
