Our next #ChemistryInYourCupboard episode is out now 🤩 Rosie, the RSC Education Coordinator (Rebecca, Ross & Dayna), shows us how to make rainbows out of drops of red cabbage indicator. Watch the full experiment here➡️ youtu.be/_pY2-cjrhwU #homeschooling #sciencefromhome #Science

Bored of your board games yet? Why not make a chemistry version of 'guess who'?! Alex has done a wonderful job of creating a 'guess the element' game, complete with element information cards. Superb work! D H F S #Learningathome Royal Society of Chemistry

Maddie's project on plants has truly come into fruition - take a look at her time-lapse video ! It was a real pleasure to read. Keep those projects coming, scientists! D H F S #Learningathome #sciencefromhome #plants

Grace has produced a fantastic pamphlet on the coronavirus! We love the step-by-step diagram modelling how a virus replicates. Brilliant work! D H F S #LearningAtHome #sciencefromhome

WOW Jaz! Your project on the coronavirus is simply outstanding. She has even taken the time to respond to Mrs Cant's feedback to make it even better - a very well done! D H F S #LearningAtHome #coronavirusuk #schoolclosure

Sean's been busy with the elements in the kitchen and has created this sweet and spongy version of our periodic table!! You've even iced Mr Shortman's favourite element (Bismuth) in his favourite colour! D H F S #periodictable #LearningAtHome #baking EiC Royal Society of Chemistry

George's planet top trump cards are out of this world!! What a fantastic way to get the family together for a game night with a scientific twist! We are so impressed by the creativity and effort put into this work. D H F S #LearningAtHome #gamenight #planets #Science

Learn about volcanoes with Joshua Cobblepot! This is an absolutely magnificent piece of work. Well done!! Not sure how you managed to get to Yellowstone National Park during lockdown, though... 😜 youtu.be/T283YWaN-0M

Hannah has amazed Mr Shortman with her science project by building a pond (with the help of Dad!). Not only this, but she she has written a weekly diary entry about the new critters it has welcomed and the biodiversity it has developed. WE ARE SO IMPRESSED!! D H F S

Chemistry in the workplace!

The science department have been busy making scientific sculptures this evening! Can you guess what they’re representing? We think we should be working in the art department! What do you think?! 🤣 D H F S #scienceinthesnow #science

The DHFS Grande Tour de Science continues. We have travelled nearly 800miles and we are just one day away from The Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland! So far our trip has included the Natural History Museums of both London and Paris and the Atomium in Brussels! D H F S

Experiments from home! Some of our scientists have been observing osmosis, shining a light on how sundials work and even creating animated rollercoaster tracks using knowledge of potential and kinetic energy! We love seeing your fab work. This. Is. science. D H F S

Calling all chemists aged 11-14! The Salter's Institute have launched a new online platform called 'Chemistry Club', which explores chemistry in our everyday lives. Join now using your school email salterschemistryclub.co.uk/register

KS5 STUDENTS: The first Cafe Scientifique of the year is on the 3rd November, when Chris Joly will explore the question: is there life elsewhere? 3:40pm in F2

Just two examples of the fabulous rollercoaster designs by our Y9 scientists during their STEAM enrichment day yesterday!

Kick starting Café Scientifique off with a trip to Mars! We invited Chris Joly, an experienced engineer, to discuss the possibility of life beyond planet earth!
