Inquiry Term 2 - Science

This term students are learning about sciences; chemical, physical and earth science.

Last week our Year 5/6s and our Year 3/4s had immersion days to explore some elements of science, discovering which area of science they preferred. Moving forward they will be making a science proposal to their teachers where they will explore an area of science to investigate.

In the coming weeks our Year 1/2 students will have the opportunity to explore different sciences through an incursion whilst our preps will be conducting science experiments throughout the term, learning how we use our senses to explore the world around us.
