Our #Year7 pupils have been having fun in science with their Forensics topic. Using microscopes for fibre analysis, flame testing metals and learning all about Luminol! #science

Last lesson with my Y8 combined science group today. Next year they spilt into Biology, Chemistry and Physics. So I did 3x10 min demos from each discipline, heavy on the links between them.

Absolutely loved it; possibly the best half hour of my year!

Here are some highlights:

Amazing day touring the @MorganMotor factory with Y12 further maths and physics students. Really fascinating engineering involved and such an inspiring place to bring young people to!

A sneak peak of our socially distanced version of our usual Christmas Tableaux. It’s been nice to do something ‘normalish’ for the Y13 who are doing a great job getting themselves into position and hair and makeup!

100 year strong tradition continues @LboroHigh @LboroSchFdt!!!

Great to have ALL year groups back on site today. Welcome back!

[Physics Journal Club @physics_journal]

We need to know which schools have used Journal Club so far with any of their students. If you could spare just a couple of minutes to fill out this short survey (teachers or students), then we can keep the project running for as long as possible https://t.co/Eb8xVEnRsU

Some exciting news from two of our #Year9 pupils this week. Catherine and Magda are working on the #ESA Moon Camp: Explorers project - they have to design a moon camp, considering all challenges people living on the moon would face! We look forward to seeing how they do. #STEM

This is some really cool, current physics to check out.

EXTRA FOR WEEK 2: Students might be interested in this short video about the detection of gravitational waves!

Now that week 1 has come to a close here are some images of the fantastic #astro work our Year 9 students have been producing! A very successful week in #remotelearning

Some awesome work from the Grammar school!

Happy #EarthDay2020 This photo was taken early this Sileby. It would be great to see your photos of our amazing planet and it’s wildlife!

The messiest game of Tetris ever?

No, our Photo of the Week is just an LHCb simulation. The LHCb detector is, in reality, a row of subdetectors stretched along the beamline, which makes LHCb simulations look quite peculiar.

For those of you who want to a bit of star gazing tonight you can catch the Lyrid meteor shower! It is recommended that you catch it after midnight so it might be a late/early one.

[LboroHSPhysics @LboroHSPhysics]

For any keen star gazers out there, the Lyrids meteor shower will be peaking tomorrow night! Here is a handy link to all the meteor showers to look forward to this year, and some handy tips on photographing them. #space #stargazing https://t.co/H8zxcB6hob
