We then headed over to the beautiful Loch Muick to work on our line transects and sampling techniques #outdoorlearning #learningtogether

We finished off at Burn O’Vat to study indicator species and explore our wonderful biodiversity 🍁 #outdoorlearning #learningtogether

Higher Human Biology had fun this morning demonstrating their knowledge of enzyme inhibition #LearningTogether

A great day out for Higher Human Biology to Surgeons' Hall Museums. We enjoyed workshops on the history of surgery and mutations. Thanks for having us! 👋🏼 #LearningTogether

Wider Achievement Science Club are busy planning the first of their S1 Science Stars workshops. Pupils who have impressed their teachers with their effort will be picked to participate in a special slime workshop to celebrate success. Stay tuned! ⭐️ Mintlaw Academy

Some of our fab Wider Achievement Science Club led a slime workshop for some of our S1 pupils who have worked hard during Term 1. Great fun! #LearningTogether

We are very pleased to welcome Aidan and Owen - two medical students from UoA Medicine, Medical Sciences and Nutrition. We are so excited for their input in engaging our learners in all things health 😀 #LearningTogether

Our medics have been in action today teaching N5 about the nervous system and how to recognise the signs of a stroke. They also delivered a fab Q&A session on health care careers #LearningTogether

Kicking off a snowy Monday morning with a heart dissection with our AH biologists! Thanks to our fab visiting medics for giving us a great refresher in heart anatomy and health 🩺 UoA Medicine, Medical Sciences and Nutrition #LearningTogether

Lovely eye dissection for Advanced Higher Biology today 🧬 #LearningTogether

S3 Connections Science have been exploring seed structure and germination 🍃 They’ve enjoyed watching these grow! #LearningTogether

This morning, our Wider Achievement Science club treated our next group of S1 Science Stars to a festive work shop and made snow ⛄️ It was great to celebrate achievements and have fun #LearningTogether

Biology Christmas Card Challenge! Well done S3 👏🏻 #LearningTogether

S2 Science extracted DNA from a strawberry today. They have been learning all about DNA structure and how we inherit characteristics. Great job! 🧬 🍓 #LearningTogether

N5 Biology made the most of the lovely afternoon to try out their sampling techniques. Here they are exploring for lichen, measuring plant abundance with quadrats, and taking temperature, light intensity and soil moisture readings 🌱 #outdoorlearning #learningtogether

Our N4 Bio pupils have created some insightful posters to showcase learning 🌱✨ These posters highlight the importance of protecting our forests. We're proud of their creativity and passion for environmental awareness! #EnvironmentalAwareness #Biodiversity #Deforestation

Our Higher and Advanced Higher Biology pupils had an exciting and educational visit to Edinburgh Zoo today. It was a great opportunity to connect classroom knowledge with real-world applications. A huge thank you to the Edinburgh Zoo team for hosting us. Royal Zoological Society of Scotland #learningtogether

🎨🧬 Shoutout to our hardworking S1 pupils! 👏 As part of their Bodyworks topic, they've been putting in incredible effort to create some brilliant cartoon systems that showcase their understanding of the digestive system #ScienceInAction #Bodyworks #DigestiveSystem #S1Science

This week we start to say goodbye to our senior pupils as they begin study leave — and for some, it’s the start of their next big adventure beyond school. Here are Mrs Urquhart & her AH Biology class, with their knitted owls — handmade by Mrs U’s mum. A wee tradition 🦉
