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.
