YEARS 6 AND 7 SCIENCE

Science has been very engaging during Term 3, with the Year 6 students exploring the survival of organisms in particular environments. They conducted an experiment about discovering the most suitable fertiliser for the growth of broad bean plants by using organic fertiliser and inorganic fertiliser, along with an experimental group that had no fertiliser added to it to observe growth and survivability.

Students really enjoyed the process of planting the broad bean plants and were also able to design a suitable and accurate method for the first time. They collaborated with their classmates productively and exchanged ideas between one another.

The growth of the plants will be observed for the next 4 weeks where students will measure the height of each plant once a week. After sufficient time and growth, students will evaluate the results and will be able to determine the most suitable fertiliser for plant growth.

Moreover, Year 7 students are exploring the scientific classification of organisms during Term 3. They were assigned a task to create Dichotomous and Tabular keys using candy to experience the process scientists undergo when it comes to classifying organisms. They were very excited about the use of candy while learning and demonstrated an enhanced understanding with a hands-on method of learning.
