This year Magdalene has launched for the first time the new Science Extension course.  

In the new course students explore historic and cultural observations, the way scientific research has changed over time, and how ethical frameworks have influenced this process. They consider philosophical arguments in relation to the nature of science to deepen their understanding and refine their own views of and about science.   Students do this by completing their own research project.

Year 7 Science

Students in Year 7 have been learning about the Rock Cycle; sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks.  At the end of this topic the students in 7SCI.1 formed groups and made a "rock song" video about what they had learnt.  You can see the results of one group's work.

Year 10 have been studying the science behind earthquakes and have been building earthquake resistant buildings.
