Science at Highvale
It has been a wonderful start to the year in Science! Students across the school have been learning about Chemical Science and investigating materials and states of matter.
In Prep, students have been investigating the properties of a range of materials. Over the last week, students have used materials from around the room to feel, sort and identify what they are made from.
In Years 1 and 2, students have been learning about how materials are made and how their specific properties are used for a range of purposes. This week students used their knowledge of materials to design their own product.
