Lifting Ideas with Pascal’s Law
As we approach the end of the school year, our Year 8 Science students completed their third and final STEM project—a hands-on exploration of Pascal’s Law through the creation of working hydraulic jacks. This project wasn’t just a test of their scientific understanding, but a reflection of how much they’ve grown over the course of the year.
From their first project to now, the progress in students’ critical thinking, teamwork, and engineering skills has been truly remarkable. With more confidence and creativity than ever, students got the challenge of designing a hydraulic system that demonstrates how pressure travels through a fluid to lift an object.
Using simple materials like syringes, tubing, and water, each group brought their design to life—testing, refining, and problem-solving along the way. Their final oral presentations on June 13 were a testament to their development. They explained scientific concepts clearly, answered challenging questions, and supported one another!
I want to say a big congratulations to our brilliant Year 8 students for their dedication and growth. Also a warm thank you to Ms. Merna and Ms. Geovanna for their continued collaboration and support.
Wishing all our students and staff a safe, relaxing, and well-deserved summer break! See you next term, refreshed and ready for more learning adventures!
