Student reflection:
The Year 7s have been doing practical investigations tasks to enhance our understanding of chemistry. One experiment involved testing whether Diet Coke, Sugar-Free Coke, and regular Coke would sink or float in water, observing how their different formulas influenced the outcome. Ms. Nasr, Ms Adamson, and Mr Filipini helped us write an investigation report including the aim, hypothesis, variables, method, discussion, and conclusion. We have also worked with strong chemicals, carefully observing their reactions with other substances. Throughout these pracs, we have learnt scientific terms to describe the types of reactions observed. Overall, while chemistry can be challenging, these investigations have greatly improved our understanding by allowing us to experience these outcomes firsthand in the science lab.
