Science

Grade 7

Grade 7 students explored how antacids neutralize stomach acid — turning a common remedy into a cool science moment. Everyone has heard of antacids — now students understand the chemistry behind them and enjoyed seeing the bubbling reactions in the lab.

They learnt

1. Basics of acids and bases.

2. The concept of neutralization in chemistry.

Design

Grade 10

This week, our Grade 10 Design students wrapped up their Term III summative assessment, with each student exploring a unique design challenge aligned with their interests. One of the standout projects was by Mirko Lukic, who developed a space-efficient apartment 3D model using Blender to address the issue of increasing population density in Dubai. The project—completed over three weeks as part of Criterion C: Creating the Solution—demonstrates a thoughtful balance of affordability, functionality, and a premium aesthetic within a compact 50 sq/m layout. Designed and modeled using the tools in our Space Lab, Mirko’s work is a strong example of technical skill, creativity, and real-world problem solving.

Chemistry

Grade 10

Grade 10 Chemistry students investigated how the energy stored in alcohols,  changes with carbon chain length. By burning different alcohols to heat water, they measured temperature change & fuel mass loss to calculate energy released—a great way to link molecular structure to energy content.
