I thought it was fun and I learned a lot of interesting new knowledge - Genevieve
Seeing that I have not done a lot of science before, I have learnt a lot about little things that occur in every day life. A lot about Marine Bioology was interesting. The chemistry with the cabbage juice was also good. - Ethan
Science Week... It was cool because got to do cool experiments with cabbages and we got to watch cool videos about interesting science. We learnt about hearts and eyes... and science!
I liked the information about alien planets. My favourite was the planet where the skies are full of gasses and the rivers are gasoline. - Chris
I liked learning Marianas Trench. Comparing really high building that are smaller than it is interesting. Also, learning about blood genetics was fun.- Imogen
What I liked about science week was how much I found out about how the earth is made. My fascination has grown bigger for earthquakes and natural disasters. - Grace
Due to the popularity, some extra sessions have been put on this week.
Next term will be kicked off with Hands-On Science, which will kick off some group scientific inquiries into some different areas of interest.
Feedback from student has been very positive, we hope you have heard lots about it at home!
