This semester in 3G, we have been learning all about Science.
We have learnt about the Sun and its effects on earth, Heat energy and Forces. Students have had opportunities to test out scientific theories and discoveries by conducting experiments to test their predictions.
Our first scientific experiment to show our learning was our solar ovens.
Using our knowledge of color absorption and conductions students made solar ovens to melt a freddo frog.
In our next unit, we learnt about Forces and Friction. In this unit we tested if different surfaces had a different level of friction. We also tested the rate of gravity.
In our final unit this semester we have spent time making videos that explain how the earth rotates both on its axis and around the sun.
3G have thoroughly enjoyed learning and growing their scientific knowledge.
