Science Week Success

Thank you to all students and staff who were involved in National Science Week activities. There was a fantastic effort by all involved despite students and staff being in distance learning mode.

The Trivia Competition proved popular and the Food Science Model Competition attracted many creative contributions.

Trivia

Congratulations to the following students for submitting their answers throughout the week and earning themselves points towards the final prize:

Jorgia Osbourne: 7 points
Alanis Furtado: 6 points
Zoey Mathews: 3 points
Alannah Trovato and Luke Boog: 1 point

The overall winner was Nathan Furtado with 12 points.

Food Science Model

Several students submitted their food science models for judging.
Well done to Cooper Byham and Jorgia Osbourne for creating DNA models out of food.

The overall winner is Alanis Furtado who creatively used mini oreos to model phases of the moon.

Along with student submissions, there were several staff members who also flexed their creativity by making models.

Mr Adam Cooper created a model of Shrodinger’s Cat, in which the paradox of quantum superposition was highlighted.

Ms Amatul Sayyada created an edible model of methane.

Mrs Marlene Jorgensen explained the chemical formula for water through food.

Finally, our overall winner Mrs Natalie Bourke and her son Aaron created life-sized models of different viruses.

Thank you and congratulations to both staff and students for submitting their models. Winners will receive their prizes when we are back on campus.
