Chemistry: Making Nylon – Condensation Polymerisation
Condensation Polymerisation is a reaction which produces a polymer from individual monomer units, as well as a smaller molecule (often water). The release of this smaller molecule during the reaction is how this process differs from Addition Polymerisation. Nylon is a synthetic fabric formed through condensation polymerisation. This video explains how nylon is formed as well as the reactants and products involved in this reaction.
Science: 2018 Aurecon Bridge Building Competition
On 7th August 2018, Yeelin Hua, Emily Seow and Aashna Mitra represented CTHS at the NSW State Final of the Aurecon Bridge Building Competition against 70 other state and private schools. The girls came away with the bragging rights after their bridge held the greatest load in the strength category. They came away with $500 for the school and a $50 gift voucher each.
Science: 2016 Aurecon Bridge Building Competition
Year 9 Students Jordan Anderson, Ross McRobb and Matthew Sweatman won last years school bridge building contest. This qualified them to compete in the 2016 International Aurecon Bridge Building Competition held at the Art Gallery of NSW. The boys designed a truss bridge and achieved commendable results, improving Cherrybrook’s results from previous years. Check out their efforts in the video.
Science: Sublimation of Iodine
When solid iodine is heated it turns straight into a gas, bypassing the liquid phase. This process is known as sublimation. It also works in reverse as gaseous iodine cools and crystallises in a process known as deposition. This sublimation and deposition phase change is similar to how the water cycle works on Mars!
Science: Body Systems – Working Together
By examining the pluck of a sheep we can see how the lungs, liver and heart both sit and work closely together to maintain the function of an organism.
