Well done to Henri in Year 7. Henri has been a real science super star this year and has completed many optional homeworks, including this one, "How do video games improve hand eye co-ordination".

Even during their last lesson, students at MECE are working hard. Year 7, exploring scientific method and racing boats! Year 8 are doing field investigations to work out the population of daisy's on the school field.

Year 9 were able to put the theory into practice today during a heart dissection and exploring the chambers and the route blood flows.

Linking chemistry and biology. Year 8 students have learnt fertilisers contain elements that are essential for the healthy growth of crops. Fertilisers can be made in the laboratory and on a larger scale by the chemical industry. Here, the students are making ammonium sulfate.

Fabulous revision mind maps completed by our yr9 nurture group. They worked so hard and made huge progression in their science. These students have now graduated from nurture and joined the GCSE class with the rest of their peers. Very proud of you all. Keep up the good work.

Investigating how surface area affects the rate of a chemical reaction. Students reacted differing sized calcium carbonate chips with hydrochloric acid. They then collected the gas produced using a large gas syringe.

Students and staff were excited for the elephant toothpaste!

Here, year 7 and 8, students were enjoying testing different metal ions under a flame. We had an array of beautiful colours. The favourite was Lithium which gives a magenta red-pink flame.

Following the theme of 'time'. Day 2 of Science Week - Students had to build an instrument to accurately measure time! Accurate measurement is a cornerstone of good science.

[MECE Science @MeceScience]

Students from all years got involved with our lunch time Science week activities. Day 1- students built a prototype rollercoaster and experimented with them to control the time it takes for the cart to reach the end of the ride. The slowest speed reached was 183 m/s!!!

[MECE Science @MeceScience]

Year 10 are completing a required practical investigating the variables that affect temperature changes in reacting solutions.

[MECE Science @MeceScience]

ECO/garden club are busy preparing the allotment for planting.

[MECE Science @MeceScience]

Year 10 concentrating hard on investigating the effects of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis. This is 1 out of 29 required practicals the students undertake at GCSE.
