In Science, we began a unit on materials and cycles on Earth. The class learned that electrons have negative charge, protons have positive charge and neutrons have no charge. They also learned that the electrostatic attraction between positive and negative…

In Science, we began a unit on ecosystems. Students learned to identify different ecosystems on earth and recognise the variety of different habitats that exist within them. They also learned to describe how an invasive species can affect other organisms…

In week eight, we completed our work on solubility by learning about paper chromatography. Students did an experiment where they found the different substances in assorted inks and dyes. In week nine, we reviewed our work on the properties of…

In Science, we investigated solubility. We compared the solubility of various solutes, explored solutions of different concentrates, and compared the number of solute particles in solutions of different concentrations.

In Science, we began a unit on the properties of materials by looking at dissolving. Students learned to correctly use the terms associated with dissolving and investigated the properties of solutions.

In Science, we focused on aerobic respiration and how it occurs in the mitochondria of plant and animal cells. We also looked the components of blood and their functions. We finished our unit on respiration with a small test to…

In Science, we continued our work on the respiratory system by looking at gas exchange and the mechanics of breathing. We finished the week with an experiment where students tried to measure their vital capacity using household items.

In two shortened weeks, we managed to look at the impact of bioaccumulation of toxic substances in an ecosystem. We also reviewed our work on ecosystems in preparation for the upcoming exams.

In Science, we began a unit on ecosystems. Students had to identify different ecosystems on the Earth, recognising the variety of habitats that exist within an ecosystem. They also learned how to describe how a new or invasive species can…

In Science, students worked on a space project. They had to choose a topic based on something they learned in class and then research it in more detail. After completing their research they had to either make a 3-D model,…
