Years 7-9 Science

Semester 1 & 2

In science we were working on all types of fun practical projects such as Science Fair, leaning about force and sound as well as learning about the periodic table and all elements. One of my favourite things in science was when we made copper sulphate crystals. Recently in science we have been making parachutes for Santa to use. It was cool to see all the different ideas and designs that everybody came up with. My favourite on had a very big parachute for a very small Santa, so far one has officially saved Santa from the big fall. I have really enjoyed science this year.

We covered Earth and Space where we learned about the planets and how they orbit. We also learned about the different types of rocks and how they form, we demonstrated this by making biscuits and chocolate crackles in the Food Technology room. We also presented at the Science Fair in November to demonstrate our understanding of the topic we chose. In Year 8, we had the option of studying either Biology or Earth Space Sciences. It was an exciting experience to be involved in the event and also seeing other students with different experiments and topics that we have never known about. We have covered more things in Science like using microscopes and observing cells through the microscope. We got to look at different types of cells. We also did two dissections of a kidney and a heart.
