Term 4 has kicked off with great enthusiasm in the Science Department! Our students are actively engaging in hands-on learning activities designed to deepen their understanding of classroom topics and spark their interest in this fascinating subject.

Year 8 students have been exploring human body systems and recently participated in a sheep heart dissection. This hands-on experience allowed them to identify structures they had studied and gain a clearer understanding of how this vital organ functions.

Our Year 10 students have also been busy with practical activities. The Biodiversity and Evolutionary Science students completed a chicken wing dissection to compare its anatomy to our own, making connections to our evolutionary history. Meanwhile, the Year 10 Chemistry class engaged in various experiments showcasing different types of chemical reactions, with some exciting demonstrations from their teacher, Mr. Michaels.

As we approach the end of 2024, there’s still plenty of time to foster a love for science and take advantage of the learning opportunities available here at Catholic Regional College Caroline Springs!
