A group of students developed an artistic display using lighting and recycled materials. They programmed these lights to simulate an underwater environment as part of the Sharing Stories gala night and dinner. Thank you Mr Preston for your support and expertise.

At RPA, students extracted DNA from strawberries and then used gel electrophoresis to compare the DNA fingerprint for accuracy under forensic laboratory conditions scientist use.
Some Year 8 classes were involved in the LifeLab Sydney pilot study funded by the Sydney Institute for Women, Children and their Families, a program designed to improve school students’ health-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviours by exploring the science behind health messages. As part of the study, the intervention group attended the Charles Perkins Centre at Sydney University for a fun and rewarding day of experimenting and networking with health professionals and scientists. Students came away very excited and positive about the experience.

Year 7 - Resources
Year 7 - Science at Sydney Park
Throughout term 4, Year 7 are exploring Sydney Park in Science, Dance, Geography and Maths. In Science, as a part of their excursion students looked at the water quality through measuring both the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors of the lower pond at Sydney Park. Students are seen in the image (left) dip-netting. Dip-netting samples of the water for invertebrates, these invertebrates can indicate the quality of the water by how sensitive the organism is to pollutants. See the identification chart below for how the students identified the species they found.
These photos are of Year 7 students (Indy Hanrahan, Luke Kelly, Zen Soto) completing a practical activity to model the effects of physical and chemical weathering of rocks.
Year 8 - Body Systems
Year 8 students have been learning about the human body systems. Here they are undertaking a chicken wing dissection to observe and describe the functions of the musculoskeletal system.
Students competed to create the most accurate model of the digestive system.
Year 9 - Dynamic Ecosystems
Students created a kahoot to test each other's understanding of tectonic plate movement.
Students pieced together evidence of continental drift to create a map of Gondwana.
Year 10 - The Universe
In the Universe topic, Year 10 are learning about the life cycle of stars, creating posters to represent their understanding.
Year 12 - Biology
Year 12 Biology students modelling the structure of DNA.
Year 12 Biology students modelling the process of meiosis.
