Year 8 Science Festival
Posted on: 07/07/2022Y8 students had an exciting opportunity this year, working in groups to carry out a chosen investigation of their own. Some of the investigations include, How much will a gummy bear expand in different salt solutions?; What type of ball bounces the highest? and How does the type of chocolate affect melting time?
Students then planned a scientific method and carry out a test for their chosen investigation. Students followed the scientific method by coming up with a hypothesis, possible solutions to their research questions, equipment and method list and collected results. Students will be then producing a scientific poster which will also draw conclusions and evaluation of their investigation. Students will then get an opportunity to present their findings to their peers and teachers in the form of a science fair.
The science department are extremely proud of all the hard work and effort that has been put into these projects – well done Year 8’s!
