Grade 11 Physics Internal Assessments

The Grade 11 Physics class carried out the research for their Internal Assessment (IA) projects after the exams. These are worth a large part of their final result and have to be planned, executed and evaluated by the students themselves. We had a wide range of subjects this time, from the effect of string tension on the performance of tennis racquets to …

Scientist of the Week

In our unit of inquiry ‘How the World Works’, G1 students have been enthusiastically engaged in our Scientist of the Week project, where each student presented a science experiment to their classmates. We delved into hands-on activities, exploring static electricity, experimenting with the interactions of acidic and basic ingredients, and exploring the properties of magnetic and non-magnetic items. The classroom …

Electron Excitation in Grade 11

Grade 11 have been learning about the structure of atoms, including the effects of electron excitation. The colours in the image are produced as a result of electrons in metal ions becoming “excited” after taking on energy through a process called “absorption”. When the electrons lose energy again, they emit characteristic wavelengths of light and we can identify metals by …
