Investigating Science Excursion Bicentennial Park

On Thursday 25 August, Year 11 Biology and Investigating Science students travelled to Bicentennial Park Field Studies Centre at Sydney Olympic Park.

Students  completed mandatory fieldwork for the Year 11 Biology topic ‘Ecosystem Dynamics’ and Investigating Science ‘Working Scientifically skills’. The first-hand investigations that the students were engaged in, covered many of the mandatory fieldwork activities listed in the syllabus for these areas. 

Students :

• applied real world problem solving and critical thinking
• explored validity and reliability in investigations (and science)
• utilised several sampling techniques
• learnt about specific ecosystems and niches
• learnt about local Aboriginal Science

Congrations to all students on representing our College with distinction and for applying themselves to their learning.
