Year 8 Science

In recent weeks, Year 8 have been exploring the behaviour of non-contact forces in Science. Mila Chau (Year 8) is shown demonstrating the repulsion of like charges between the Van de Graaff generator and her hair. Students observed a range of demonstrations using the Van de Graaff generator by Mr Blackburn including flying pie tins and lightning. The demonstrations helped consolidate learning from previous lessons where students charged objects with wool and silk to explore the behaviour of charged objects.
