Students were mainly involved in a blind test to identify a substance using three senses: smell, touch and taste. Students in Year 6 investigated viscosity and they measured and compared the viscosities of various substances. ... Science Week Competition The draw for the Science prizes took place on Friday. Students in Year 1 and 2 had to design a musical instrument. The year 3 and 5 group had to design a self-propelled vehicle. The Year 4 students put together a video presentation on forces, which they presented to other classes. The Year 6 cohort entered a model showing their knowledge of circuits. Each child who participated went into a draw for the prizes. The lucky winners of the competition were Beau, Holly and Ashleigh. Well done to all the winners and thank you to all the participants.
