Year 7 (7G) have been in hot water, literally! All in the name of investigating how the volume of water being heated with a Bunsen burner for the same time affected the temperature increase. They have been developing their Bunsen burner proficiency and measuring skills with thermometers, measuring cylinders and stop-clocks. After gathering their data, graphs were produced beautifully displaying their results.
Year 12 mathematicians had a great trip to the maths in action conference last week. Topics covered included Fermat's last theorem and transforming mobius strips, how MRI scanners function & how numbers determine which musical notes sound good together.
