Year 7 Science

This term in Year 7 Science, students are learning all about forces.  As part of this unit they have two competitions - The Egg Drop and the Elastic Band Car Racers.

Here, 7E are completing their Egg Drop. Students were required to design, build and test a contraption that will enable them to drop an egg from 2 meters onto a hard surface and survive. 

They had a limited number of supplies to use in their design including; plastic straws, sticky tape, popsicle sticks, plastic bag, ziplock bag, string and newspaper.

Year 8 students are learning about the Respiratory System.  They have been dissecting lungs, heart and liver (Sheep Pluck) to learn more about this important part of our bodies.
