In Science, we began a new unit on classifying and grouping organisms. The class learned to describe the seven characteristics of living things and discussed reasons for classifying a virus as living or non-living. They also learned to describe what…

In Science, students learned about the differences between elements and compounds and learned how to use formulae. We moved from there to looking at the differences between compounds and mixtures and students learned how to distinguish between the two.

In week eight, we concluded our work on the states of matter by looking at the water cycle. In week nine, we began looking at what matter is made of and learned about atoms, elements and the Periodic Table. The…

In Science, we continued to look at the states of matter. We explored what happens when matter changes state and we did some practical activities where students had to measure a volume of liquid in a measuring cylinder and use…

In Science this week, students learned to describe the three states of matter as solid, liquid and gas in terms of the arrangement, separation and motion of particles.

In Science, students learned how the structures of some specialised cells are related to their functions and how cells can be grouped together to form tissues, organs and organ systems. We concluded our unit on cells with a small test…

In Science, students learned to identify and describe the functions of cell structures in both plant and animal cells. We finished the week by looking at cheek cells through a microscope.

In two shortened weeks, we continued our unit on microorganisms. We learned about the ecological role some microorganisms have as decomposers, their relationship with decay, and their pivotal role in food webs.

In Science, we began a new biology unit on microorganisms. Students had to construct and interpret food chains and webs which included microorganisms as decomposers. Students also learned to know about and describe the ecological role some microorganisms have as…

In Science, we reviewed our work on electricity and the students sat a test based on everything they have learned on the topic.
