During week 4 & 5 this term, our Year 8 students had the opportunity to attend BioLab in Belmont and engage in the ‘Skin Deep’ learning experience.

Students had access to the latest biomedical technology to investigate the impact of environmental changes on the human skin and record their findings. They were expected to utilise the skills they had learned about data collection and representation in their maths class to make sense of the data produced by technology in the BioLab laboratories.

Learning experiences such as these are important for students to make connections with content and skills learned in the maths and science classrooms, assisting them to gain first-hand experience with technology used in laboratories and preparing them for life (vitae nos parat).
