WEEK 9
This week we will begin work on our Environment section of megastructures. The PowerPoint slide is below, so please use this to calculate your ecological footprint. Also attached is a copy of the assessment piece, which is a research essay. Any questions come and see me.

WEEK 7
Hello all! Just a quick update on science. This week we will engage with pulleys, levers and gears in a practical sense. We will take what we know from the powerpoints below, and construct various simple machines in class. I hope you enjoy this hands on learning.
In terms of assessment for science, the MST teaching team is finalising an investigative task for you to complete on megastructures and the environment. This will be distributed shortly!

MEGAstructures
Throughout the next 12 weeks, students will be engaged in our unit of inquiry about 'Megastructures'. Students will be assessed on lab reports, investigation tasks, classroom observation, activities and quizzes.
Centrals Ideas
a. What forces are applied to different mega structures?
b. What are the consequences on the mega structures from these forces?
c. How are simple machines used in our daily lives as well as in building a mega structure?
d. What are the key attributes of simple machines?
e. How has the development of megastructures impacted environment issues, both positively and negatively?
Topics covered in the unit will include:
1. Tuning into what Megastructures are all about.
2. Forces-magnets, friction, gravity
3. Simple Machines
4. Megastructures
5. Environmental Issues

WEEK 6
Hello team. Week 6 is nearly over and the long weekend is upon us. This week our content has revolved around SIMPLE MACHINES in Science. Be sure that your homework sheets are being completed and submitted to me in class! Remember I am keeping records for your parents...
Also, I am expecting that every single one of you goes home and revises the content we do in BOTH Maths and Science everyday. 10 minutes is all I ask...
Have a great long weekend and if you have any questions, email me at [email protected]. Love your work!
