In our Amplify investigation, we didn’t just guess what was wrong with the Westfield water — we figured it out like real scientists. We gathered evidence, tested samples, and looked closely at the substances mixed into the water. By observing color changes, particle behavior, and test results, we discovered clues that pointed to the presence of iron. When iron reacts with oxygen and water, it forms rust — and the data matched that pattern. Step by step, using models, tests, and evidence-based reasoning, we solved the mystery and showed how careful scientific investigation can reveal what’s really in our water.

Why does sunlight hit Australia harder than many other places on Earth? In our Light Waves unit, we discover that sunlight isn’t just “light” — it’s made of different kinds of energy-carrying waves. Some of these waves have much higher energy and can damage living cells. Normally, the ozone layer in Earth’s atmosphere absorbs much of this high-energy light before it reaches the ground. But over the region near Australia, that protective ozone layer is thinner and less effective, so more high-energy light waves reach the surface. The result? Stronger sunlight exposure and a real-world mystery that science helps us explain. 🌞
