In Science this week we looked at soils. Students learned how to classify different types of soil and learned some experiments you can do to test a soil's properties. We looked at 4 properties of different soil types: texture, water…
We finished off our section on rocks by looking at the different uses of sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks. Students have been assigned an activity where they have to creatively present what they have learned during our Geology unit so…
In a shortened week of Science, we continued our geology unit by looking more deeply at how sedimentary and metamorphic rocks are formed. We also looked at the different kinds of each rock type.
In Science this week we looked at the structure of the earth. Students also learned about the rock cycle. We started to go deeper into looking at different kinds of rocks by learning about igneous rocks at the end of…
In Science this week we began a new unit on rocks and soils. We had to start by looking at the size and composition of the universe and then slowly make our way to the formation of the earth. We…
In Science this week, we reviewed the answers to the chemistry test held last Friday. We then took a break from our regular schedule to practice for the upcoming assembly. We will start a new unit on geology next week.
We ended our unit on acids and alkalis this week by looking at acid rain and its effects. Students reviewed their work so far in Chemistry in preparation for a test on Friday based around chapters 8, 9, and 10…
In Science this week, we looked at acids and alkalis. Students learned about the differences between the two and how the pH scale works. We also studied neutralisation and some of its applications.
In a shortened week, we celebrated international periodic table day by researching elements. Students had to learn about one metal and one non-metal element and present their findings to the class in a mini slide presentation.
This week in Science, we learned about the physical properties of everyday objects such as whether or not they have electrical conductivity or insulate heat. Student had to apply their knowledge to household objects by creating a property profile.
