Well done to 1.5 who all gained their bunsen burner licence yesterday for their excellent practical skills.

Did 2.2 use the thermal imaging camera to identify exothermic and endothermic reactions - yes 👍🏻
Were we successful- yes 👍🏻
Were all the photos I found on the camera of our experiment - no 🤣
#sciencefun

N5 chemists were learning about the shapes of covalent molecules today with some help from the molymods

[ArdAcad Science @ArdAcadScience]

Fantastic work from S3 physics today. Planning an experiment to investigate how far a ball travels when launched from different heights on a ramp. Onwards to processing their results #thisishowweroll #rollwithit

[ArdAcad Science @ArdAcadScience]

NPA scientists used starter cultures to make yoghurt today. Now all tucked away safely in the fridge. pH will be checked in the morning #science #skills

[ArdAcad Science @ArdAcadScience]

Drawing and building bonding diagrams of covalent molecules today with S4. Great work from everyone

[ArdAcad Science @ArdAcadScience]

NPA scientists used the resazurin dye test today to check the quality of milk kindly donated from staff bases around the school. The challenge to donate out of date milk was embraced by several staff members. @ArdAcadPastoral 😳 now for the disposal 😷

[ArdAcad Science @ArdAcadScience]

Building atoms today with our new S4. Some subatomic particles mysteriously disappeared before we could use them to help with our nuclide notations. Thankfully the data book was on hand to help

NPA scientists have been testing different samples of milk for the presence of sugar, protein and starch. Protein detected in all of our samples but no sugar in the unsweetened soya milk.

[ArdAcad Science @ArdAcadScience]

Another colourful lesson with our future S1. We learned about stars and elements and had lots of fun flame testing different metal salts. Copper is beautiful but strontium is still my favourite ❤️

[ArdAcad Science @ArdAcadScience]

As part of our P7 transition week we learned about the pH scale in science and used indicators and common household substances to make some art. #science #colour #pH

Tomorrow the team from @ArdAcademy will take part in the Glasgow @thekiltwalk to raise funds for @TeenageCancer. We would like to send a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us #community #onestepatatime

[ArdAcad Science @ArdAcadScience]

S3 chemists investigating the effect of catalase on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide today. You can even hear some measurements being taken as I tried to catch a video of the oxygen bubbles. #skills #rates

[ArdAcad Science @ArdAcadScience]

S3 chemists investigated the effect of particle size on reaction rate using rhubarb today. More colourful chemistry 🧪

Colourful chemistry continued with the effect of temperature on the position of the equilibrium. More agreement on the colours for this experiment #exothermic #endothermic

[ArdAcad Science @ArdAcadScience]

Higher chemists investigating changing the concentration of reactants on the position of an equilibrium using a coloured complex. We all agreed that the visual results helped our understanding. Not everyone agreed on the colour of the test tube on the right #orange #yellow

[ArdAcad Science @ArdAcadScience]

Also a huge thank you to Brett from @SpiritAero for the support and guidance he provided our team along the way. #teamwork

[ArdAcad Science @ArdAcadScience]

Fantastic morning @BOOTHWELSH listening to young people from across Ayrshire present their ideas to solve an industry set problem for the @poweringfutures award. A huge well done to the team from @ArdAcademy for all the hard work put into their solution #skills #community

[ArdAcad Science @ArdAcadScience]

Fantastic presentations from all of the young people involved in the @poweringfutures award this session. #skills #sustainability

[DYW Ayrshire @DYWAyrshire]

Ayrshire participants included @ArdAcademy, @IrvineRoyalAcad, @StMatthewsAc, @Grange_Academy1, @MarrColOfficial, and @QMAOfficial.
