Grade 8 enjoys Physics at Brennan

Members of the Brennan Physics Club challenge grade 8s visiting Brennan on Wednesday, Dec 13, 2017.
Enthusiastic competitors race Spheros through an obstacle course as one leg of the Amazing Brennan Race.
Our "Brennan Cards" did an amazing job at providing leadership, encouragement and instructions to these future Physics enthusiasts.

Grade 8 night - science is spectacular

Grade 8 night was a big hit for all involved; science is spectacular.

Physics rocks as physics students instruct these future cards on how to drive the sphero through this obstacle course. Using an iPad, the students control the speed, colour and direction of the sphero in an attempt to race through the pylons.
Here another group of physics students hand over the controls to hopefuls who will race down a different race track outlined by LED lights.

Oh the joys of biology; grade 10 students happily show off their dissection of a frog. These students embrace excellence in biology, chemistry and physics.

Biology and Chemistry shared the spot light in Rm 215 as grade 8 students, their siblings and parents, embrace the awe inspiring world of science.

More than 12 students gave of their time to share the joy of physics with our future cards, as they demonstrated and discussed Newton's 3rd law, mechanical resonance, magnetism and the conservation of energy.
