Year 7 Science Has Never Been Better!

Our little Year 7 scientists have been dealing with many exciting topics since the start of their Science high school journey. From obtaining a Bunsen Burner license, to experimenting what can possibly happen when you mix Mentos and Coca-Cola, to modelling the solar system on the Sports Field. In fact, the solar system has been the focus of these last few weeks. We have studied how day and night occur and how seasons are present in the Northern, and Southern hemisphere.

But…., it was time for Year 7 to understand the Moon, and the reason why the Moon appears the way it does from Earth. What can be better than using Oreos to model this?! Each lunar phase was modelled by adding or removing cream from the Oreos to recreate how the Moon is seen from Earth. And by the look of it, not only our Year 7 students understood the concept, but they absolutely ‘digested’ it!
