Forensic Science

Our science Focus for the next couple of weeks has us looking into the work of forensic scientists. Students are learning about the many different aspects of science and ways it can be used in solving crimes and mysteries. We have been using the CSI website to carry out a web quest in learning all the different aspects of forensic science. You can go directly to this site by clicking the link below.

How to Do the Display of Your Science Fair Board

Science Fair....

SCIENCE FAIR!!!...things should be coming together nicely with Science Fair - those of you who are testing should be well through this now and hopefully starting to think about some of the results you are getting from the tests you have done. If you are "making/inventing" something you should be well through this now and hopefully testing your model or design out. Early next week we will look at ways to bring it all together in order to present what you have done in a fantastic way! The science fair work is due by Monday 18th June at the latest!!!

Term 2 Science Fair Underway..

Over this week and last it has been great to see everyone is making efforts to select an idea and working on devising some sort of 'Big' question to carry their inquiry work for the Science Fair. We have been having some great discussions in class and it is pleasing to see so many students motivated to get stuck into their work on this - the ideas gathering and getting started is possibly the trickiest park of the whole process!. Remember that there is plenty of time to complete this as long as people stick to the time line we are working to for the steps here at school. If any one is really stuck and struggling to get things going we can discuss and help them with ideas to ensure the Science Fair doesn't become a real chore for students.

Week 1 Term 2 Assembly Award - Holly
