The last few days of Crest have arrived! Everyone is
stressing, trying to get everything on their presentation boards. There is a
lot of buzz, excitement, many sighs of relief and a proud feeling of
achievement.
In
Year 7 Science everyone has to do a Crest Project over 7 weeks of Term 2. Our
success criteria has been:
♦ Ask a testable question
♦ Research the topic
♦ Make a hypothesis about the outcome based on the
research or their
own knowledge
♦ Design the investigation
♦ Conduct the investigation – hands on experiment
♦ Collect Data
♦ Make sense of the data and write a conclusion
♦ Present your findings to be judged
An example of a testable question is, ‘Which brand of
dishwashing liquid makes the biggest yeast reaction?’
At Selwyn House Crest is very important and it builds up our
skills for Year 8, which is the year that we have to do personal projects.
