Science Days grade 9

Last week, Grade 9  performed experiments as part of the Science Days / International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO). The students worked in groups to complete the tasks for the Olympiad. 

This year, the topic was “Ink”. Students investigated the chemistry of ink, how “ink killer” works, how to use ink in biology and physics experiments, and how to make ink using a 2000 year old recipe! 

Students’ reports on their experiments will be entered into the competition this year, with a chance to win advancement into the final international round taking place this year in Frankfurt. 

Aside from completing the IJSO tasks, the aim of the science days is to promote scientific research and experimental skills. Participation and group work are an integral part of the event.
