Year 8 went on a Science excursion to the Science Space at the University of Wollongong on Monday.
The students have been learning about different types of energy in class this term and the excursion enabled the students to see some real life examples of energy. The students enjoyed a planetarium show, where they explored some of the planets of the Solar System. The students competed against each other to build a bridge that could withstand a number of masses being placed on it. Some bridges passed the test and unfortunately, some of them collapsed under the weight. The students explored the hands on exhibits that covered many aspects of Science. The students also took part in a show about some of the different types of energy.
