Re: Science Week
For Science Week we had our Year 11 Physics class (with teachers of course) make ice-cream using Liquid Nitrogen. Every day of the week had two different flavours and we sold out each day. It was a big hit!
Re: Science Week
For science week we did:
Unveiling of our new science block poster board
Kids made solar grasshopper jitterbugs
We had 2 chefs flown up to do molecular gastronomy with staff and students
We had a graffiti artist come in and paint our corridor wall with sciencey stuff
We let off rockets in the oval
We judged the annual Rube Goldberg machine
Very busy week

Re: Science Week
Yes I agree too!! CONGRATULATIONS on having motivated and interested staff who want to promote science to their students.
Our teachers can barely see the way ahead with the expectations placed upon them. We still don't have scope and sequences for the year or programs even one topic ahead. We lurch from topic to topic with no clear directions as to where the end of the tunnel is!
I feel the tunnel is caving in!!

Re: Science Week
Agree with Rae,
same here, teachers are ran off their feet. We had 2 prac teachers, one left after 3 days never to be seen again and the other mature student, had change profession from a lawyer to become a teacher because " they have it easy". Well after first week, he is exhausted, arrived very late this morning, because "he had to take some work homeyesterday and did not finish until midnight so he slept in". It is not what he expected, needless to say, he will not be working here.

Re: Science Week
Solar Grasshopper Jitterbugs .....did students make them in class or was it a lunch time activity/display?.....do you disassemble before each class? how many did you have?
The students would love them here. I hadn't heard of them before today. Had a quick look on google and found some on sale in America for $7.00 (but not selling to overseas).

Re: Science Week

Re: Science Week
Makes me so happy that I have a science staff all eager to promote science. My HOD won the prime ministers award for Science teacher of the year 2014 so she is extremely good at what she does, so happy to work along side her.
