Year 8 Excersion

Last week the grade 8s went to the Museum and Science Centre for a Science and SOSE excursion. We were divided up into groups and my group went to the museum first. We completed a booklet about Aborigional and Torres Straight Islander people and their festivals, costumes and work. At the Science Centre we looked at mny interesting dislays showcasing different aspects of science. We looked at three different parts of the Science Centre and got to watch a lesson about sound. My favourite thing about the excersion was the 10m sprint, where you tried to beat a world champion called Heath. To represent where Heathw as, it lighted up ashe went along. Heath's time for 10m was 1.9 seconds (around) and I ran 2.21 seconds. The day was a success, and the grade 8s had a wonderful time in SouthBank.
