After two weeks of exam prep and exams, we started looking at how the movement of the earth causes apparent daily and annual movement of the sun and stars. The Year 7's also made an outstanding presentation to the Year…

We finished looking at forces and their effects by concentrating on force diagrams and how to interpret them. We also went over what will be in the exam and where students should focus their attention over the coming week.

In a shortened week, we began looking at forces and motion. Students learned about what a force is and what the effects of forces are. Students also learned about velocity and acceleration, contact and non-contact forces, and Newton's three laws…

We finished our unit on the age of the earth by looking at how fossils and rocks are dated. Students learned about varves and radiometric dating. We wrapped up the week by reviewing the unit and students worked on some…

In Science, the students presented their geology projects. There were some pretty stunning efforts by some of the class. We finished the week by looking at the fossil record and what it teaches us about the evolution of life.

In Science, we looked at geologic time and how rock layers provide insight into the past. We also looked at how fossils form and how scientists use index fossils to learn about the past. We finished the week by reading…

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…
