Carts & Forces

Year 10 Applied Science were challenged to design and create a self propelled icy pole stick racer this term.  They were given a limited amount of equipment including balloons, sticky tape, elastic bands and icy pole sticks. To succeed, the icy pole stick had to also carry a 50 gram weight.

They were not allowed to push the carts (so most were clearly disqualified!) - congratulations to Molly Walther, Danielle Edwards and Meryem Pekcan for their design that travelled the furthest!

Yr 11 VCE Biology

The Year 11 Biology students are learning about asexual and sexual reproduction. To understand the sexual reproduction in plants, they completed "flower dissection".  They identified male and female organs within the flower, and learned their function in reproduction. They have observed the plant ovaries under a microscope and discussed how a variety of those organs can affect the pollination process.
