Science Week 2025!

Science Week was a huge success with hundreds of students engaging in lunchtime activities and experiments.

Prep

We have been exploring how things move in different ways. We learnt all about how spheres bounce. We made predictions, conducted experiments and recorded our results. The ping pong ball bounced to a height of over 70cm!! 

Grade 1

We have been exploring ‘Light & Sound’. This week we explored different sources of light. We discovered there are both natural and artificial sources of light and made folded booklets.

Grade 2

We have been exploring ‘Push and Pull’, discussing how we use contact forces ‘push and pull’ throughout every day to - open the fridge, brush our teeth, pull on our socks… They investigated Rube Goldberg machines and made marble runs.
