End of term wrap-up

From the looks of this blog we haven't been doing much in the science lab. The truth is we have been very busy. End of term brings busy times for everyone. We are all in need of some rest and relaxation over the holidays. Here is a photo dump of some activities we have been doing.

Grade 7 students measured the pH of different liquids using different indicators. (Acids and Bases unit)

Our Bright Sparks from grade 3 have been investigating static electricity in the lab. Some groups made paper snakes and charmed the snakes with their recorders. (And some static electricity of course.)

This may look like a grade 6 student but it is really Willem Einthoven who won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1924 for inventing an EKG machine. Wouldn't the real Einthoven be surprised to find out that a grade 6 student at SIS in 2015 can do an EKG in school using a simple data logging EKG probe. 

Another Nobel Laureate Takaaki Kajita, winner of the year's Nobel Prize in Physics.
