Year 10/12 Accelerated Investigating Science

23 May 2025

Year 10 - 12 Accelerated Investigating Science

Our year 10/12 Accelerated Investigating Science students have been busy putting popular product claims and pseudoscience to the test! Using real data and scientific thinking, they’re asking: Is the claim backed by evidence—or just clever marketing?

So far, they’ve investigated:

Coles Choc Chip Cookies and their "40% chocolate" claim

Quick-Eze and its ability to neutralise stomach acid

pH-balancing claims in skincare products

And even whether crystals really have a calming effect

Science in action—and critical thinking at its best!
