Archibull Prize program Monday, 2 May 2022 Students were surprised when they unwrapped a life-size fibreglass cow. Decorating it, with their given industry will be just one element of this STEM project which will be running over the next term and a half. Archibull Prize program The Archibull Prize program engages school students in agricultural and sustainability awareness, understanding and action through art, music, digital technology, agriculture, and science along with design, creativity, teamwork, and project development. The program is aligned to the learning areas, general capabilities, cross curriculum priorities and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Using critical and creative thinking students investigate and reflect on global sustainability issues through the lens of agriculture and act at a local level. The program provides students with opportunities to meet young farmers and to gain knowledge and skills about the production of the food they eat, fibres they use and the environment they live in. Teachers, students, and their communities are inspired to have courageous conversations and become changemakers. Watch this space to see what Year 7 -10 can work together to accomplish.
Year 9 Science - Wave and Space Tuesday, 3 May 2022 This term's topic for Year 9 Science is Wave and Space. As part of the topic we are learning about different types of waves and investigating the properties of waves and how we can model waves. Students in 9.05 worked collaboratively to create a massive wave machine that stretched across the length of the classroom. Using simple materials of skewers, tape and A LOT of Jelly Babies students were able to create a working large-scale model and visualise the concepts of frequency, amplitude and wave speed as they observe wave motion through a medium. Students explored the concept of how energy is transferred through waves without the need to transfer matter itself. This experience 'amplified' our students’ understanding of wave motion with this captivating demonstration!
