Eureka! You're in Science

Airtrack Collisions

In Term1 Year12 Biology students extracted DNA, retracing the steps of Watson, Crick and Franklin.Year7 were safely returned from their excursion to Taronga Zoo after studying their primate relatives. Year 11 Physics students happily issued speeding tickets to motorists on Pittwater road and studied collisions in the laboratory.

In Term 2, 12 science students participated in the Australian Science Competition while senior Chemistry students will face the challenge of the National Chemistry Quiz later in the year.

Year 8 science expanded their knowledge of science through an entertaining visit to the movies to see "The Day After'.

Senior Science students are set to polish their practical skills in the local environment and Disasters with a visit to the Coastal Environment Centre.

Parabolic Projectile Motion

Year12 Physics students have come to grips with the mysteries and complexities of projectile motion by combining the stroboscope and with the newer technology of the digital camera. This is one of the many stimulating areas of study in the new Physics HSC.
