During Term 4 we will be looking at our planet and our moon. NASA on October 9th will be blasting a section of the moon to confirm the presence or absence of water ice in a permanently shadowed crater near a lunar polar region.
Watch the news during that time for their discoveries!

Year 7 Science will be focusing on Science Knowledge and Understanding as well as Science at work. We will be covering topics throughout the year that will support the integrated units.
Integrated Unit Themes & Science Topics at Year Seven Include:
Term One: How do I learn best? Being a Scientist & Senses
Term Two: Active Community Participation – Making a Difference Solids, Liquids and Gases & Classification
Term Three: Indigenous Culture: Yesterday and Today Mixtures & Heat, Light and Sound
Term Four: Global Citizenship Forces & Earth and Space & Our Planet
The textbook (not on book list) that supports these topics is Science Dimensions 1. The college has a class set and therefore does not have to be purchase. However, if you have any year 7 textbook at home, your child is more than welcome to bring it in
