Advanced Higher Biology did some EGG-cellent revision today to round off their final lesson before their exam. Hunting down exam-style questions hidden in coloured eggs around the Science Faculty, they raced to get the most correct answers. Well done to all for your efforts 🐰🥚

Senior students visited Kinross Primary School during their free time on Friday afternoon to run a series of science experiments for the P6 classes. The senior students were great at making the science come alive and be exciting for the younger pupils.

S1 Science pupils have been investigating the effect of air resistance and how it affects their times for 50m sprints as part the Forces unit. They are gaining inspiration for their upcoming Science Fair projects, ensuring they can plan, carry out, and evaluate their own ideas.

Advanced Higher Biology took a trip to RZSS Education Centre today with 2 phenomenal lectures on Reproduction and Animal Behaviour. 🐒🐅🦥
We tracked animal behaviours - choosing our own favourites to plan and study . This gave hands on experience of different research methods.

Spooky Season is in full swing in Biology today as Advanced Higher took part in the annual Problem Solving Pumpkin Pick in their costumes 🎃
Working in teams they collaborated to hunt, retrieve and solve some tricky past paper questions from around the faculty, hoping to win.
