Year 7 Students Visit to Hong Kong Science Museum

On Tuesday and Wednesday this week, our Year 7 students visited the Hong Kong Science Museum, exploring fascinating exhibits on forces and natural disasters, supported by our Individuals and Societies and Science teachers.

Students engaged with interactive displays that demonstrated gravity, friction, and other forces. A highlight was the section on natural disasters, where they learned about earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis through immersive experiences. Teachers facilitated discussions, helping students connect scientific concepts with real-world impacts.

This trip enriched student learning and sparked curiosity, making it a memorable educational experience.
