Flower Dissections and Plant Functions
This week in Science, students have been learning about the structure and function of plants. As part of the topic, they dissected flowers to identify the different parts and examined them under the microscope.
Getting hands-on with real specimens helped make the learning come alive, and the microscopes sparked genuine curiosity—there was lots of excitement as students spotted pollen, ovules, and tiny details they hadn’t seen before. A simple activity, but one that left a strong impression.
Introducing Project OmniScope
Fourteen Lincoln Road students are curating exhibition boxes on Earth and space, with field trips, journals and a Creative Arts Expo at term’s end.
Using Microscopes in Year Seven Science
Year 7 students at Lincoln Road made their own slides and looked at onion cells under a microscope this week, seeing cell walls and cell nuclei for themselves.
Investigating Chemical Reactions In Science
Students observed reactions and gas forming in test tubes while learning how to work safely in the lab.
Exploring Solubility in Science
Students began hands-on chemistry experiments, testing solubility and learning how to make a dilution series.
Peas on the Move
Our winter pea seedlings are growing well and have been replanted into larger pots on the plant wall to continue their development.
