Science Exhibition Night

On Thursday 21st of May, year 10 students at JMSS showcased their work in their elective sciences for Science Exhibition Night. The focus on interactive exhibits led to a range of activities including video games teaching astrophysics concepts, card games teaching mathematical tricks and computer games showcasing the games programming skills of our students. Exhibitions also included a walk through a Mars habitat, investigations into chemical analysis including spectroscopy and titrations. Dissections of eyes, toads, hearts and lungs were a big part of the event and despite some squeamishness, the visitors were enthralled by the students' expertise and knowledge. 

This event showcased the learning of students and the passion of staff in their particular fields of expertise. It is an important event on our calendar where prospective students come and explore their options and make their decision to apply. A big thanks to all the students, who engaged their friends, parents and the public through their displays, conversations and interactions. An enormous thanks to the staff who support the students to become confident communicators of science.
