View from the bottom

The Physics department is to be found on the ground floor of the new Science block at SJI-International. Mr. Bowen and Mr. Saranam teach Physics to grades 9-11 and Science to grades 7 & 8. Take a look at some of the things that have being going on on the ground floor in the last week…..

Year 10
Year 10 have been trying to figure out electrical circuits and will gladly explain the difference between an emf and a p.d. if you ask nicely. Here they are investigating the relationship between potential difference and current.
Lorraine: Knit one pearl one…
Bryan :Emf or voltage?
Shaun: What’s the (potential)difference?
Year 8
Year 8 have been studying variation and selective breeding. Here they are investigating variation in tomatoes.

Kenny : The investigation is afoot gentlemen!

Thomas: 151,152,153…
Celestine :You missed one!
Thomas : Where? One hundred and forty…..oh no not again!

Year 7
Year 7 have been looking at separating mixtures by filtration and chromatography:

Lots more investigating to do in the coming weeks …wonder what we will discover?
