SCIENCE at CORO
Electrifying Science!
During this term, year 6/7 students are learning about electrical circuits.
This is new learning for a lot of students and we are having to remind ourselves to have a growth mindset during learning activities.
Students began making simple circuits, progressed to adding components and running a fair test, making a switch using conductive materials and will make an electronic game to share their new learning as a MYP summative task.
Science Week/Book Week Competition
The theme for National Science Week was “Food:Different By Design” and with the book week theme being “Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds” we held a competition combining the two.
We had an array of entries ranging from poster designs, recipe ideas, cakes and eucalyptus ice blocks for Koala’s.
Congratulations to all those who entered, especially to those prize winners, who were presented with a certificate and a prize at the Week 5 assembly.

Year 3-5: Harry Gardner (1st), Lila Armstrong (2nd), Ollie Armstrong (2nd) Eamon Williams & Dylan Blenkin (Honourable Mention).
Year 6-7: Thomas McGough.
Science Week 2021
What an exciting week was had by staff and students at Coro. The theme for National Science Week was “Food:Different By Design”.
We had chicks hatching from eggs, VR headset adventures, Minecraft club harvesting, movie watching with popcorn, future food construction, fruit artwork and a campfire with damper.
Students booked themselves into lunchtime activities to help celebrate Science Week.
