Year 12 Biology

The Year 12 Biology students have been working hard on SAC 1. They have completed two experiments, one on enzymes and one on photosynthesis and have continued to develop their key Science skills.

We are grateful that we have had the opportunity to buy some new Science equipment this year. The Year 12’s had the opportunity to use our new water baths for their enzymes experiment. Keep working hard!

Year 9 Science

Dissecting brains was an engaging practical, for the Year 9 Science classes.  It gave the students a good understanding of brain structure and the nervous system.  Everyone enjoyed themselves and asked lots of good questions about the brains.

Well done Year 9's, keep up the hard work!

VCE Biology

Congratulations to the VCE students studying Biology this Term. 

Unit 1 & 2 students have completed their first SAC and as you can see from the photos, they were investigating the process of photosynthesis. We looked at the need for 'Carbon Dioxide' and tested how the different wavelengths of light affect the rate of photosynthesis.

They will be completing the SAC about photosynthesis and cellular respiration in IPT time on the last Thursday, before Term 1 break.

Biology Units 3/4

Unit 3 & 4 students have just completed the first of two SAC's this week.

In the photos below, you can see the students revising the key concepts using playdoh, a great medium to show their understanding of enzymes.

They will be completing part two, practical component of the SAC (Photosynthesis) this week,  and the final write up will be just before the end of Term 1.

Good luck to everyone and well done for working so hard this term.
