Culture Club members were delighted to see the first results of their initial project. Their oyster mushrooms will be delicious, and this week will see a new crop emerging each day. Well done year 10.

Year 12 Biology students took on Mr Hipkiss' challenge of constructing an accurate 3D protein model based on their understanding of protein structure, and some very specific biochemical criteria.

Mr Hipkiss' all new Culture Club got off to a great last week, with students in year 10 learning how to culture oyster mushrooms. They are looking forward to seeing the results in 3 weeks time!

Year 12 students didn’t need to outcompete the plants for sun today. ☀️ Successful succession data collection 😄🌱🌷 #somuchsun #somuchfun #somuchmore

Year 10 Biologists carried out a delicate and challenging dissection of the brain as part of their nervous system topic 🧠

First biology club of the year was a huge success. Year 7 mapped the different lobes of their brain to prepare for brain dissections next session! 🧠

Year 12 Biologists inspired by our recent field trip to @CranedaleCentre ‘Ecology is fun!’ 🍃🌻🌷🐞🐝🦋

Bird watching on the Bempton Cliffs and we were fortunate to see many rare birds including puffins! 🔭 @CranedaleCentre

Investigating how the distribution of limpets, barnacles and seaweed is affected by the position on the rocky shore 🦀🐚🦪 @CranedaleCentre

Year 12 investigating the different abiotic factors in order to deduce the seral stage of succession in the most beautiful wild flower quarry setting! 🌸🌺🌼 @CranedaleCentre

We have been fortunate enough to see the rare bee orchid! 🐝 @CranedaleCentre

This morning, Year 12 captured and marked some brown lipped snails ready for recapturing tomorrow in order to estimate the size of the population here in the Cranedale woodlands. In the words of our Year 12s ‘they are so cute!’ 🐌

Some successful traps were set last night and Year 12 were very pleased with finding a vole, some huge slugs and a centipede as well as some other small invertebrates 🐌🪳🕷

Successful butterfly release with the Y7 Biology Club! They cared for their caterpillars so very well and we were able to release our beautiful butterflies into the big wide world 🌎🐛🦋

We had a huge audience of 35 year 12 students to listen to a very advanced and engaging talk that linked the structure of DNA with Mathematics and Computer Science today 🧬 #somuchmore

Year 12 very much enjoyed carrying out their fish head dissection in order to further investigate the gills as an exchange surface.

Baked** spelling error in our excitement to eat the brownie!

[Biology at Nottingham High School @Biology_NHS]

One of our talented Year 12 students backed chromosome brownies for a treat at the end of todays lesson on genetic diversity. 🧬

Another exciting biology club today! Year 7 dissected a heart and were able to identify all of the chambers and blood vessels! 🫀

[Biology at Nottingham High School @Biology_NHS]

Today was a very popular Biology club! Year 7 performed their first ever dissection of a brain 🧠 they very much enjoyed identifying the different parts and are very keen to perform a heart dissection next Biology club!
