Year 12 Chemistry Independent Investigations

Over the last 2 weeks Year 12 Chemistry students have been completing their big Area of Study 3 Independent Investigations.

Students were required to create their own experiments to investigate an electrochemical concept using Galvanic or Electrolytic Cells and create a Scientific poster to communicate their findings.

Biology and Psychology, are also starting their Area of Study 3 in the coming weeks.

Yarra Ranges Tech School

It was 8G and 8J’s turn to visit the Tech School. Many students chose to help Lachlan, a teenager that spends a lot of his time in hospital. There were many creative solutions to help Lachlan be entertained and be able to access schools.

Students presented their ideas at the end of the 2 day workshop.  Some solutions included dancing robot dogs with a light and sound show and teenager retreats in the hospital, complete with computer games and tech solutions.

Other scenarios included helping someone in a wheelchair by having an alarm sound if they fell out of their chair and the use of little bits to create a prototype.

All students worked really hard on their projects and should be congratulated on their hard work.  

Farewell to Julie Colyer
