In Physical World, students in Year 8 have completed an exam to sequence historical events on a chronological timeline. They have analysed sources to determine features such as purpose and origin. Students have made links between Science and History by analysing features of the human body and how our understanding of this has changed over time.

Students in Year 7 also completed their exam this week. In the meantime, they have been busily working on their Science investigations around the forces used to build the ancient pyramids, drawing connections between Physics and History. Students have experimented in the science lab pulling model stone blocks over wet and dry sand, just as the ancient Egyptians would have done, and have collected force data using our Vernier equipment.

Students in Year 9 Science have been learning about how energy and matter flows through ecosystems, exploring the relationship between producers, consumers and decomposers in food webs and chains. We have secured Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary to deliver their Wildlife on Wheels presentation to Year 9 students on Monday 21^st March. The students and teachers are all so excited for this wonderful in-school co-curricular learning opportunity.  A reminder to please ensure notes are returned and payment is made by Friday 18^th March.
