Year 10 Scientists Reinvent the Mousetrap!

Everyone knows that mousetraps are designed to trap mice. However, this year in Science I learnt that they can also trap chicks. As winner of The Great Mousetrap Challenge for 2005 my life has changed. The aim of the project was to build and power a car as far as possible solely by the stored energy in the spring of a mousetrap. My mousetrap car was designed to achieve a lightweight chassis with tall gearing that would drive the vehicle for a long period of time. The chassis of the car was made of light yet sturdy balsa wood (from my sister’s dollhouse… shhh). The gearing was made up of a large rearwheel which was also made from balsa wood, and a large rod attached to the bar of the mousetrap. The axles were made from 3mm spring steel (nicked from Dad’s shed) so that they had no chance to warp or bend. Both the front and rear axles ran in homemade bushes(copper tube). The front wheels were CD’s which were also cut out using a dremel to reduce their weight. The rod attached to the mousetrap arm was stolen from an umbrella – thanks Auntie Joyce, which was crimped onto the mousetrap bar using pliers. When the class testing day arrived I was, scientifically speaking, excreting urea with excitement. At the start of the class we filed down to the gym where I set up my car on the start line and waited for the signal. The gun fired, well actually Mr Martin just shouted out “Go!”, and I released my car. My car achieved a massive two and a half laps of the gym (72m), setting a new school record and quite possibly a world record — probably not though. Now I find that I am noticed wherever I go and I am never short of female attention. Science is a subject definitely worth studying!

Year 10 Science students (With help from Mr Luke Martin)

Computers and Information Technology

De La Salle is taking significant steps to develop an ICT plan that supports student learning. A number of initiatives over the last two years have seen the development of a stable and robust Intranet that provides opportunities for teachers and students to use technology in the classroom and at home. In 2006 the College is making a significant investment to continue the ongoing support of providing technology for its staff and students into the future. The expansion of computing PODS will occur at year eight. PODS allow teachers to provide students with technological assets in proximity to their classroom, ensuring the relationship between the teacher, learning goals and technology can occur in the pedagogy of individual subjects. Additional labs will be built on the Kinnoull campus allowing senior students greater opportunity to have technological tools at hand when required for class and individual learning. In 2006 we are beginning a program to include a Data Projector and Computer in our classrooms to ensure teachers developing learning materials in a digital format have the ability to use their resources in front of their students. The College is embarking on a program that will allow teachers to acquire computing hardware providing them with the assets required to develop and implement learning objects for their classroom. The College is committed to the ideal of effective learning centred around the teacher and supporting them with the technology assets required to achieve the broad and diverse goals across our curriculum.
