.....and some more!

Introducing our new student-led Science Noticeboard. Highlighting great work, new developments, inspirational quotes, facts and jokes.

Proud to say that all our Year 7 students have obtained their Bunsen Burner license after showing us that they can safely set up and light their Bunsen Burners

Y8 Making a plastic from potato starch. Step 1 - Extracting starch from the potato #sciEd

We had to share this beautiful piece of work from one of our Year 7's. A wonderful 3D representation of the anatomy of a neuron! #cellbiology #beautifulbiology

Y7s using springs and weights to observe the effects of mass in a stretching experiment.

Y8 doing the metal ion flame tests. Will they be able to identify the samples by the colour? #sciEd

Y8 successfully completed making a polymer from their Potato starch. Step 2 - Gently heat their potato starch in HCl and Propan-1,2,3-triol. Step 3 - Neutralise with NaOH Step 4 - Allow to cool

Year 12 have been investigating whether the amount of Vitamin C is higher in fresh Orange juice or Juice made from concentrate #biology #VitC #SciEd

Beautiful new addition to one of our water gardens in the Biology Lab. #beautifulbotany

Purifying seawater. Y9 were using the flame test to check for sodium and then using distillation, yielded purified water.

Y10 recreating the famous Pink Floyd album cover by splitting light with a prism. #sciEd

The science support staff are looking a bit hungry. They've not been fed in a while and can't wait for their Christmas lunch!

experimenting with reaction speeds using the #iodineclock reaction.

Year 7s learning what happens when you add concentrated sulfuric acid to sugar.

Watching the alkali metal in water demonstration with Year 8s. This is potassium which ignites immediately on contact with water.

Introducing the Science Department's new water garden. Patiently awaiting the arrival of its new inhabitants. #sciEd #beautifulbiology
