Science Week 2024

We recently celebrated National Science Week. As part of the celebration, Sweet Valley hosted its first-ever Science Expo on Tuesday 6 August.
Grade 4-7 showcased some of their Natural Science and Technology projects and inventions while the STEM Club as well as Coding and Robotics presented interactive displays.
The Grade 4s displayed some of their lever projects whilst showing videos of some of the most famous inventors all reenacted by Grade 4 children. The Grade 5s showcased their beautiful skeletons and papier-mâché bowls, while the Grade 6s had their stalagmites and stalactites on display together with a display of all the important facts and features of these geological formations..The Grade 7s presented their cell phone tower projects with a working light bulb and self-made electrical circuits.
We were also privileged to have the Mobile Science Centre demonstrate fascinating and captivating scientific experiments to all of the grades.
Ms Martin and her Coding and Robotics team treated the children to a variety of coding and robotic interactive stations.
The STEM Club had a few volcanic eruptions and created "elephant toothpaste". The Van de Graaf electrostatic machine shocked many while the telescopes and “make your own” lava lamp was enjoyed by all.
