Great to welcome Centre of the Cell to @BHHSGDST @BHPrep today. Such brilliant, informative sessions about our bodies enjoyed by all the girls.

Lots of exploring taking place in science this week... year 4 are looking at the effect of different liquids on teeth (well eggs) and year 5 have been finding out about asexual reproduction in plants #science #experiments #handsonscience

Year 6 have been exploring refraction in their science lesson today. Take a look at this fab video... Can you explain what is happening? #refraction #science #magic

Year 5 are enjoying their science schow at the observatory- Exploring gravity... reducing friction to move more easily #hovercraft #gravity #OSC

Year 6 & 7 science session this morning kick started with the question ‘What does a scientist look like?’ Here are some of their answers... we’ve even got one of Mr Marsh! @bhhhs_biology @bhhs_chem #scientificenquiry #science #stereotypes

We’ve made it to the Royal Institution (now on Bluesky) for the @GDST Young Scientist day... really looking forward to it. #science #colour

The film is out! @GDST Young scientists @ Ri_Science... exploring the science of colour youtu.be/b2-CDGYsrlE via YouTube

Year 3 have been busy learning about nutrition and making healthy eatwell plates #science #KS2 #activelearning #HealthyEating

Year 4 have made posters highlighting dangers of electricity #KS2 #science #electricity #safety

Year 5 are painting planets to make their own #orrery, looking closely at the colours of all the planets in our solar system. #space #KS2

VR time... the future of teaching about the solar system is here!! Exploring the solar system in VR with year 5 #GoogleExpeditions #VR #Redbox

Year 3 have been exploring light and testing materials to see if they are transparent, translucent or opaque! #handsonlearning #science #light #exploring #materials

Year 3 have been exploring the properties of different rocks in science today #rockexperts #rockdetectives #petrologists #exploring #handsonscience

Year six at Brighton and Hove Prep @GDST have been rewriting the Bechdel test for 2018 #IWD2018 #PressForProgress @BHHSGDST

Sad to hear about Stephen Hawking. What a remarkable life. His contributions to science will be used as long as there are scientists, and there are many more scientists because of him. He spoke about the value and fragility of human life and civilisation and greatly enhanced both

Off to London with 5 year 5s for the GDST Junior Science Conference at Royal Institution (now on Bluesky) looking forward to a Science packed day! #science #juniorscienceconference #handsonlearning

Made it to the Royal Institution (now on Bluesky) and looking forward to the day! #science #juniorscienceconference #GDST

Waiting in the lecture theatre Royal Institution (now on Bluesky) and looking at the timetable for the day... first stop L’Oreal lab - extracting DNA! Can’t wait to kind out more #GDST #juniorscienceconference

Session 1 - extracting DNA... so cool! Lots of concentration needed #GDST #juniorscienceconference #DNA

What an amazing day... exploring all a out DNA, chromosomes and genes. Looking round the Royal Institution (now on Bluesky) and finishing the day off with an explosive lecture! #inspiring #GDST #juniorscienceconference #thisgirlcan
