The Preliminary Investigating Science class recently conducted a depth study where they were required to research and construct a model of a scientific concept or phenomenon. They then used their models to explain their chosen scientific phenomena to the class.
I would like to extend my congratulations to the following students for their outstanding work:
• Ethan Antala – Bohr’s Model of ‘The Standard Model of the Atom’.
• Corey Arentz – Black holes and Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity.
• Riley Ayres – The human digestive system.
• Ethan Bond – The scale of the Universe.
• Harvey Clissold – Aerodynamics using a model wind tunnel.
• Jack Elliott – The Magnus Effect.
• Lucas Gowing – Electromagnetism.
• Mase Hillcoat – The effect of dimples on a golf ball.
• Jason Lee – Modelling cymatics.
• Nathan McCarthy-Cox – The aerofoil (Bernoulli’s Principle and Newton’s Third Law of Motion).
• Riley Perham – Volcanoes.
• Nathan Simpson – Modelling the relationship between tyre surface area and friction/grip.
• Noah Walker – The water cycle.
• Rory Wilson – Surfboard wax and its effect on friction.
