Luna Park Excursion

The rain clouds cleared just in time for Year 7 to enjoy a beautiful day by the harbour for their Science excursion to Luna Park. Students have been studying forces this term in Science, and visited the park to explore how these forces work in real-life situations. This included a ride on the Hair-Raiser, where students experienced the effects of gravitational force and inertia as they were 'dropped' from a height, and discovered how we can overcome this gravitational force on the sky-spinning Ranger. Student favourites included the rotating Tango and the Rotor, where centripetal forces pushed and pulled their bodies beyond their control.  Year 7 represented our school proudly.
