YEAR 10 ENGINEERING

The girls have been very busy building EV3 LEGO Mindstorm Robots and controlling them remotely with their mobile phones. What a great excuse to play with LEGO in class!

12 MARINE SCIENCE 

Year 12 Marine Science students have been exploring the impacts that increasing levels of carbon dioxide are having on our oceans, especially on the ocean’s chemistry. As part of their Unit 3 work, they have had to modify experiments that look at the effect that increasing acidification has had on organisms that produce calcium carbonate to form their skeletal and bone structures. 

Some students have been looking at the effect changing pH has on coral reefs, while other students have been looking at the potential impact to important fisheries species like scallops. Students produce report that justify their research, summarise their data and provide an analysis of both their data and their experimental process.
