🧫🧪👨🏻🔬 Mr Mikhaiel’s Year 7 Science students are currently engaged with the concept of mixtures and developing important practical skills in science! The unit on mixtures is a great opportunity for students to explore the different types of mixtures and the methods used to separate them. Sand, Salt, and Iron Filings Separation: In this activity, students are using the combination of magnetic separation (to remove iron filings), filtration (to separate sand from the salt solution), and evaporation (to recover salt from the filtered solution). These methods allow them to physically manipulate the components and observe how different techniques work for different substances. After each separation technique, students could discuss and record their observations about why each method works, including the properties of the materials involved (e.g., magnetism, solubility, particle size). Students could brainstorm real-world examples where these techniques are used. For example, how are water and oil separated in cooking? How do we purify salt from seawater? As an extension, students investigate how to separate more complex mixtures and some other materials (e.g., plastic beads, sugar, etc.), using the techniques they’ve learned. Students could investigate which solutes dissolve in different solvents (e.g., does sugar dissolve in cold water vs. hot water?) and measure the rate of dissolving.

🏃🏻♂️🤼♂️👬 Yesterday, our newly elected Peer Support Leaders for 2025 participated in Peer Support Training. Throughout the training, students learned how to be effective, compassionate leaders by building upon their listening, communication, and problem-solving skills. These valuable tools will help these leaders create a supportive, inclusive environment within our school community. Many thanks to Ms Rappolt, Ms Bonarius & Ms Piantino.
