ECOLOGY
This Year 7 freshman Science class in term 4 learned about ecology, food webs, food chains, dichotomous keys and animal adaptations. For the symposium Year 7 was tasked with designing an animal that fits into an Australian ecosystem. We had to talk about its
adaptations, its place in a food web and make a dichotomous key of it. Dante and I were tasked with interviewing a few people on their newly discovered creature in our podcast.
Year 8

NEWTON'S FIRST LAW
Exploring the science behind car safety using Newton’s First Law of Motion: An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

MODEL OF A ATOM
An Atom is the smallest particle of a chemical element that can exist. The Origins of Atoms dates back to Ancient Greek Philosopher Democritus who theorised there existed a small unit of matter that is unbreakable. Scientists use the model of the atom to make predictions about the atoms’ innumerable combinations of hard, small, invisible particles...

POLYMERS
For our contribution to the 2021 Newman Symposium our group studied polymers and their different types as well as their properties and everyday uses. Doing this granted us a greater understanding of certain materials such as the leather in our shoes and what properties allowed this to happen.

CELL MODEL
A cell is the smallest unit that can live on its own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the body. A cell has three main parts: the cell membrane, the nucleus, and the cytoplasm. A cell is surrounded by a membrane, which has receptors on the surface. A cell provides structure for the body, taking in nutrients from food, converting those nutrients into energy, and carrying out specialized functions. Cells also contain the body's hereditary material and can make copies of themselves. Cells have many parts, each with a different function. In making the model we strived to break down the structure of a cell, its different features and what makes it so unique in order to uncover how each different part works together harmoniously in order to form such an integral feature of our bodies. In making the model we first pulled apart what makes up a cell and began thinking of ways to construct it. We opted to use lollies, slime and styrofoam balls to create our interpretation of a cell to which we recreated its most critical features, the Nucleus, Nucleolus, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Cytosol/Cytoplasm, Plasma Membrane, Golgi Complex, Lysosome, Mitochondria, Cytoskeleton and the Centrioles. The materials used for each of the different features include a styrofoam ball which we painted blue for the Nucleus, a yellow bouncy ball for Nucleolus, rainbow sour strips which we winneded into a sideways spiral to recreate the Endoplasmic Reticulum, we used yellow glitter and regular yellow slime to recreate the Cytosol/Cytoplasm, a styrofoam ball which we painted a silvery green for the Plasma Membrane, strawberry sour strips which we winneded into a sideways spiral to recreate the Golgi Complex, we used m&m’s to represent the Lysosome, we cut a white chocolate coated raspberry bullet in half and place a piece of the strawberry sour strips to make the Mitochondria, we once again utilised the yellow glitter and regular yellow slime to recreate the Cytoskeleton and finally we reused the m&m’s to represent the Centrioles.
