Science Fair

Planning is underway now for the Coastal Taranaki School Science Fair happening in the Intermediate and Y9/Y10 classes. Class time will be spent on preparation for the scientific investigation, an experiment designed and carried out by students using fair testing principles.

Students work will be judged and on display in the hall in Week 10 (4 – 8 July) for friends and families to view. The best entries will be exhibited at the Fonterra Taranaki Science Fair in New Plymouth at the beginning of next term. The experiments and the displays will be a combination of both class work and homework.

Any help you can give to our students to be successful would be appreciated. For more information visit the official website nexusresearchgroup.com

Thank you,
Rae Dalgleish (HOF Science)

Science Roadshow

The Fonterra Science Roadshow will be here on Monday, March 21 in the School Hall. We are the host school, so other schools will visit us. There are two demonstrations about fire and ice and super senses (about our five senses) and over 60 interactive exhibits for students to ‘play’ with.

Up to 80 students can go at one time, so please pay $3 to the office by Friday, March 11. The cost has been subsidised $3 by Friends of Coastal Taranaki School for the first 80. The Intermediate Department has made a group booking, so $3 has been added to their school account. Our session will be from 9.30am to 10.50am (80 minutes).

This is a great opportunity for students to experience science activities not available in school laboratories.

See you there,
Rae Dalgleish
