Although there were some frustrations with the electrical circuit not working as well as we had planned, the girls were able to move through the process to apply their knowledge of light. Time spent on decorating the houses could have been more wisely allocated to testing the electrical installation of the lights. The periscope groups had a lot of fun adjusting the mirrors to the exact angles to be able to see more clearly. The deadline for a completed project always creeps up on you well before you are ready, and this unit of work was constantly under pressure but the girls did well to create a couple of video explaining how they constructed their project and how it worked.
A space to think, tinker and create. A place to develop creativity, collaborative, problem solving and risk-taking skills.

Year 8 Science
The Year 8 girls have been studying the properties of Light during Term Three. To make their knowledge come to life they worked in groups to design and use their understanding of how light travels to complete a project of designing and creating either a periscope or light some rooms in a house.
