Mathematics and Science
Recently Hawker Area school took a part in The Watermelon experiment. Our students learned about forces that create implosion. Students had a lot of fun while they learned about the scientific ways of conducting experiments. They measured the size of our watermelons, weighted them and used rubber bands, size 65. The results varied as we could not control some variables like distribution of the pressure of rubber bands across the watermelon or size and shape of the watermelon. However, all implosions have been spectacular and students enjoyed the experiment.
I am very proud to say that both our SACE students achieved a very satisfactory completion of the Stage 2 Research Project as well as Stage 1 subjects . Both girls from year 11 and year 12 worked very well to achieve the positive outcomes.
“The South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) is a modern, internationally-recognised secondary school qualification designed to equip you with the skills, knowledge, and personal capabilities to successfully participate in our fast-paced global society.”
It is such a comport to know that students in small school like Hawker Area School can receive same quality education like students in metropolitan schools.
