Newton's experiments on the nature of light using prisms produced some beautiful visible spectra in our 'Experiments that changed the world' masterclass this week.
After completing this challenge, creations were hidden & students tried to decipher the destinations; this demonstrated students’ ability to keep the reader guessing yet (as Japanese crime fiction is famous for) leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for our detectives to uncover.
In their criminology masterclass, Yr 9-11 ISSP students were inspired by the popular Japanese crime writing style of ‘honkaku’. Students were tasked to create a crime scene centred around a Japanese landmark & use these locations as inspiration for their own murder mystery scene.
In week 1 of our Yr 9-11 Masterclass, 'Experiments that changed the world', the students carried out Galileo’s original water-clock experiment using burettes, and a modern version using air-tracks and light gates to study acceleration @schoolstogether@SchoolPAlliance
