Grade 8 Science Showcase

The Lunchroom was turned into a Science Showcase this week, as the grade 8 students displayed their hard work.  The students were demonstrating the culmination of inquiry, learning and creating.  The students worked in groups to develop and create a hydraulic system with real-life applications.  The results were incredible!




CONGRATULATIONS!!

Some of the curriculum expectations that were met as a result of this fun investigation are:

  • assess the social, economic, and environmental impacts of selected technologies that are based
  • on the properties of fluids;
  • analyse how the properties of fluids are used in various technologies, and assess the impact of these technologies on society and the environment;
  • investigate the properties of fluids; 
  • demonstrate an understanding of the properties and uses of fluids.use technological problem-solving skills to design, build, and test devices that use pneumatic or hydraulic systems.
