In Week Six of this term, we will be celebrating Science Week at GHS. The science team have been working hard to put together a week full of fun, science-based activities that we hope will promote and celebrate SCIENCE!

Here is an outline of the activities that will take place during Science Week 14^th-18^th August.

Monday:
Solid fuel rocket launch (On the Back Oval - Lunch time)

Tuesday:
HOUSE COMPETITION: Escape Room Challenge (Hall - Homegroup)

Wednesday:
Science Movie (Lightyear) Part 1 (Atrium Lunch – rated PG)

Thursday:
Science Movie (Lightyear) Part 2 (Atrium Lunch – rated PG)

Friday:
Year Nine performance AI Academy (Hall - Period 1 and 2)
AI is the future of STEM!
It’s never been more important to be knowledgeable on what makes AI accessible to us all, from coding to innovation to technology. The more we know about how powerful AI can be, the more we can solve problems in everyday life. Becoming familiar with AI innovation in industry and science, as well as its (sometimes unintended) consequences, will make students better prepared for the advances in technology, and the ways in which STEM is leading our future study and career pathways. AI Academy celebrates the 2023 National Science Week school theme Innovation: Powering Future Industries. Student audience and volunteers become part of the action and are encouraged to offer suggestions that the actor will incorporate. The result is that students get to have input in the show, while watching and learning!

Science Fair (Hall - Lunch time) activities include:

• Science photobooth
• Hold a snake (Xander) experience & photo
• Guess how many cells in the picture
• Mr Brown’s pendulum experiment
• Make your own Science badge
• Guess what’s under the microscope
