Year 9 Science Small Acts; Big Changes Video Project

Year 9 Science have completed their first assessment task that involved a cross-discplinary approach to researching issues associated with climate change. 

Hannah P's entire family supported her by acting in her Science video production,

The research task involved students researching, planning and producing a six minute video clip to encourage people to consider their personal impact on the environment. Congrautlations go to all students. The effort and quality of work from Year 9 girls was noteworthy. 

The project involved students researching the science of global warming - its causes and its effects. Students also had to consider their personal carbon footprint - a measure of greenhouse gas emissions. By reducing greenshouse gases, we can positively impact our effect on our planet by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide we release into the atmosphere - a major contributing factor to global warming. The project was run in conjunction with our Pastoral Program, where students were taught about their digital footprint they create as they access and contribute to social media platforms such as YouTube. A special thank you to our Year 9 families - many of whom appeared as cast and crew in the productions.

Below includes a selection of work produced by our girls.
