Year 7 Design and Technology

Year 7 Design and Technology students began to put theory into practice last week after many months of distance learning.

During their first time in the Design and Technology classroom, the Year 7 students demonstrated that they were independent, confident problem solvers who had learnt so much from their theory work during online classes.

The class is making catapults that use STEM theories related to physics, engineering, and technologies.

Students are working in teams to make a quality product that will launch bouncy balls on the oval. It is a fun project and words like fulcrum, load, kinetic and potential energy make sense to them now – it’s been a great way to start in this subject.
