24.01.2022 IT’S OUT OF THIS WORLD! What a great opportunity for our 10K Science, iSTEM and Science Extension students to have a live Zoom meeting with current NASA Astronaut, Serena Aunon-Chanellor. Serena is a doctor, engineer and an Astronaut. She’s spoke to the students about her education, career path, research and most engagingly her time in space. It was a great opportunity for our students to see where Science can take them. A big thanks to UOW Physics faculty for setting up this meeting. #khsscience #khsistem #uow

24.01.2022 When all the others go home on a Friday afternoon, that’s when the real iSTEM fun happens. Here we see a creation from student, Xander F. He has designed a case for he Raspberry Pi4. Great work Xander. #khsistem #khsscience

21.01.2022 ABORIGINAL ASTRONOMY took centre stage in Mr Smith’s 8A Science class this morning. In celebration of NAIDOC Week 2020, the students learned about the Dreamtime story around the Emu in the Sky and the Three Brothers. The students learned how Aboriginal culture plays an important role in Science and STEM. #khsistem #khsscience

17.01.2022 HAPPY NATIONAL PERIODIC TABLE DAY!!! One mans dream 150 years ago is still used daily in our Science classes here at KHS. Russian chemist, Dmitri Mendeleev was the first to organise the chemical elements into a usable format. On February 7th (I know that was yesterday ) we celebrate the work he did 150 years ago. #khsscience

13.01.2022 Happy INTERNATIONAL DAY OF WOMEN AND GIRLS IN SCIENCE. Women play such a crucial role in the scientific breakthroughs we all take for granted, whether it be aerospace, conservation biology, climate change or stopping COVID-19, women are everywhere along the way. There’s never been a better time for young women to follow a career in Science. If you’re interested as to where Science can take you, ask your Science teacher or pop into the staffroom and see Mr McKay. #khsscience #WomenInSTEM #womeninscience

11.01.2022 IT'S A CELEBRATION! To celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, tomorrow the 11th of February, we are changing the names of our Science classrooms to the names of famous female scientists. Each room will have a poster on the door and a QR Code so the students can learn more about these wonderful women and many, many more. The posters are included here, so if you've got time, scan the QR Code on the screen or click on the link below, we'd love you to join in the fun tomorrow as we celebrate women in Science. Special thanks to Mr Michael for designing the posters and the website. https://www.globalcitizen.org//17-top-female-scientists-w/ #khsscience

05.01.2022 IT’S YARN TIME in Mr Smith’s 8A Science class, as the students participated in a traditional yarning circle. Studying Space, the students were asked to get in touch with the Universe by bringing in a special item that best describes them to discuss with their peers. It’s a great way for students to learn about aboriginal culture this NAIDOC Week. #khsscience #khsistem

04.01.2022 IT’S ASTRONOMICAL!!! NAIDOC week started early in the Science Faculty with Miss Simpson’s 7I Science class meeting with Karlie Noonan, a young Aboriginal Astronomer. She gave a great insight into her journey to become a professional Astronomer, the barriers she overcame and the significance the stars play in Aboriginal culture. #khsscience #khsistem

03.01.2022 The Science Faculty wants to give a massive shout out to all the Women out there on this, INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY. You play such an important role in everyone’s life, not just in the world of Science and STEM. #khsscience #khsistem #internationalwomensday

01.01.2022 STEM is all around us and thanks to Australia's (outgoing) Chief Scientist, Dr Alan Finkel, now we can find out more about the world around us. #khsistem #khsscience #stemeverywhere
