Science Lessons at WHPS

The Emphasis is on Skills, Skills, Skills!

The Grade 7 boys have written their very first practical Science exam ever. As part of the Science exam they were required to follow instructions and conduct their own science experiment to determine if the substance they were given was an acid or a base.

It proved to be an exciting addition to the traditional examination style and boys realized the importance of being able to apply what they have been working on in their class science lessons.

WHPS believes that the importance of a good education relies on cultivating curiosity, a sense of awe and an interest and desire to learn...!

This requires many scientific process skills such as observing, classifying, communicating, making hypotheses and experimenting. They must also be able to analyze, synthesize, evaluate and solve problems.
