Students have been conducting some interesting experiments in the Science labs over the last few weeks including the coolest Ash Snake activity which had everybody amazed. In Year 8, students are working on their unit about chemical reactions and the Ash Snake experiment demonstrated how a simple sugar and bicarb soda mixture can combust with low flame to create a very funky looking creature that rose from the sand on the bench. Mrs Kidd's Year 10 class extracted DNA form strawberries that was then visible under the microscope while Year 6 learned about the gasses produced from different chemical reactions. Gemma has been busy in the gardens outside the Science labs and despite the frosts and cold winter, is harvesting a whole tray of tomatoes twice each week.
