Science - Crest Investigations




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.
