First session of #GCSEScienceInAction with year 10. Learning about galaxies with Dr Becky Smethurst !

Learning about how beat boxers create their sounds! Fascinating stuff that we’d not considered before! #GCSEScienceinAction

Now time for a talk by Lucy Eckersley about conservation - making GCSE Biology relevant using her experiences in the wild! #GCSEScienceinActipn

How do you choose which animal to spend conservation money on, to also benefit others in the environment? Really thought provoking questions from Lucy Eckersley!

Seeing some amazing medical tech from Tom Warrender - using an iPhone to study the eye! So many different medical career options.

Some great work on food webs from one of our year 10s. Well done Mohammed!

Today year 10 have been using whiteboard.fi to sketch pictures of the steps of the greenhouse effect. These are some of the best! Next lesson we are going to put the steps together as a group to make sure everyone understands!
