Scienceworks

Year 7 students went on an excursion to Scienceworks Museum on Monday 16th or Tuesday 17th December. The students viewed the Electricity, Magnets & Movement Show which consolidated their learning in Science this semester. They learned about the following:

How movement energy can be used to create electrical energy
How magnets, movement, metal coils and electricity interplay to create motors, generators and electromagnets which are used in everyday devices
That coal, wind or water can be used to spin a turbine and generate electricity
That electrical energy can be turned into movement and sound in motors and speakers
That electromagnets can be turned off and on

Students also had the chance to explore the other exhibits at the museum.
