Science and Technology

The Science and Technology program at Bell Primary School aims to provide the children with the skills, knowledge and resources to explore and develop understanding about the world around them.  Science and Technology learning involves a range of ‘hands on’ activities.

 We continue to be involved in many and varied science activities as possible.  In the past such activities have included participating in the Solar Boat Challenge, Science Talent Search, Engquest and many more.

 Environmental science is addressed via Student Action Teams.  Groups of students research and identify issues in the local environment and work together to implement solutions.  Bell Primary also has an ongoing relationship with the Merri/Darebin Creek Management Team where the senior students visit the creek once a week to assist with monitoring the water quality and local environment.

 In addition, opportunities are provided for families to join hands-on activities such as astronomy nights, science picnics and family science nights.
