STEM

This Term students will focus on Chemistry. Students will explore physical and chemical reactions through a range of experiments and cooking activities. The prep students will be looking at how items can be combined together to create a mixture. Physical changes of how substances can be manipulated such as bending and folding will be the focus for the Grade ½ students. The Grade 1 & 2 students will also focus on how to select materials that are suited for a particular purpose, for example that bricks would be suitable to make a house whereas straw is not. The Grade 3 & 4 and 5 & 6 students will explore how physical and chemical changes can be reversible or irreversible. 

STEM Question of the fortnight

These questions will not be compulsory but will be a bit of fun and a challenge for students. Students can write their answer on a piece of paper and place it in the appropriate box inside the STEM room. Prep- 2 will place it in the box labelled P-2 and Grades 3-6 in the box labelled 3-6. At the end of the week Miss Middlin will do a lucky dip and select one student from Prep- 2 and one from Grades 3-6 who will receive a small science related prize. This week's question can be found below:

- What does Chemistry mean to you?
