Year 12 – you should be close to completing the cellschapters in both Meg and the lizard workbooks
Test for this topic will be next week
Year 13 – you should have completed the plant responses and animal responses to the abiotic environment of Meg, and the corresponding chapters in the flies workbook.
Year 12 Biology has already been on their first field trip to Arataki. The rangers all gave very informative (and interesting) talks, and much information was gathered in preparation for the coming research internal assessment. A very successful field trip (even down to the exciting ride on the double decker bus along the Sceanic Drive).
Science department textbooks 2008
The following is a list of workbooks that will be needed by students doing science in 2008. Your teacher will advise you as to which books you will need in their class.
Student workbooks not only allow for practice of concepts taught in class, but are also an aid when revising for examinations at the end of the year.
Payment should be made to the office and students bring the reciept to thier teacher to receive the books.

When a volcano erupts, ash, pumice is blown out of the main vent. This causes lava to come out of the crater and flow down from the summit. It can be a very tragic disaster when a volcano erupts as many houses and people can be destroyed. A few years ago a volcanologist was tragically killed. He fell into the crater and got owned by magma. Years later, when the volcano had eroded, his body was discovered burnt and destroyed. Erosion occurs after heavy rain and snow. When a volcano becomes dormant it means the volcano will never erupt again.

Year 12 and 13 Biology students were priviliged to attend a live webcast at school of Professor Lord Robert Winston talking about reproductive technology.
Hi. This my first try at blogging. Hope it proves useful to all. Seniors need to check out the revision times (under pages – look for your year level). Year 10′s – the nuclear power assignment is there and hopefully I’ll keep up to date with weekly homework – so now there’s no excuse even if you’re absent!!!!
