Science Week 2021
Science Week 2021
This week we have celebrated Science Week in a very different way to what we had originally planned for.
When planning the activities and experiments for students to participate in back in May, we were hoping to be at school to celebrate Science Week. However, as we all know, things are always changing so rapidly in the community and in Victoria, so we needed to put our thinking hats on and come up with a Plan B to celebrate Science Week remotely.
This week, we set our students some at-home creative tasks, as well as hosted a Kahoot for all students and staff to test their science knowledge.
Our Year 7's have been studying 'Forces and Simple Machines' this term, so this week we set them a task to create a simple machine in the form of a lever out of household items.
A special shout-out to Alex in 7F who filmed a video of himself making and explaining the lever - a fantastic effort!

Our Year 10 Psychology elective students have been studying 'Neurons and the Brain' this term, so this week we set them a task to create a neuron out of household items.

On Thursday at lunch time, we hosted our Science Week Trivia Kahoot for students and staff. The turn out was excellent and it was fantastic to connect with our science students remotely and have some fun together. All students received house points for their participation and the top 5 students received extra house points depending on where they finished on the leader board.
Well done to Camila in 9B for becoming our Science Week Champion and finishing on top of the leader board!
