By the end of the project, students will present the findings of their experiment to each other and also to a panel of judges.
Year 8s have started their Student Research Projects (SRP) where students work in groups or individually to design, conduct and report on any experiment they want, just like real scientists! Year 8s have been working hard last week to design a fair test for their experiment. They have also come up with a hypothesis for their experiment based on background research. Today was the first day of actually doing the experiments. All students worked productively. It was also good to see so many students bringing in their own devices such as laptops and iPads to make themselves even more productive during the project. By the end of the project, students will present the findings of their experiment to each other and also to a panel of judges.

This week Year 8s enjoyed a lesson on astronomy with Year 11 Physics students. The Year 11s led a lesson on the heliocentric model of the universe, including a discussion on the house arrest of Galilieo when he proposed the sun was at the centre of the solar system and making a scaled model of the solar system. It is always excellent to see students teaching students. |
