2.1 have been investigating forces which has provided lots of opportunity to use their numeracy skills.

We made parachutes using a budget planner for the materials used, timed how long their parachutes took to fall @SCHSMaths @_stcolumba #MathsWeekScot

N5s made the most of the sun to design their own food webs

Well done to Team STEM in the S6 v teachers football match today - role models for our girls! 🙌 @MissBall12 @MrsMcQ_chem @collsmcg1 @SCHSMaths

2.2 and 2.5 were launching the bottle rocket this week to investigate forces. With varying success…

Making brain hats in Higher Human Biology today to look at localisation and lateralisation of the cerebral cortex🧠

2.5 made some lovely chromatography Christmas baubles today and 2.2 got to try everyone’s favourite experiment🧪

[Miss Ball @MissBall12]

2.2 and 2.5 were challenged to design their own dilution experiment to show the whole pH scale. They delivered👏

Transcription and translation with higher today so we formed our own polypeptide chains using different DNA codes

[Miss Ball @MissBall12]

DNA Replication this week with the higher classes so we modelled the process to help with our understanding

[Miss Ball @MissBall12]

S3 Biology did a great job this week making stop motion videos to model how enzyme reactions work👏

@wearethemodies Congratulations, what wonderful news!🎉🎉

Simple scaffolding idea for a student with SEND who often struggles to ‘get going’. Comprehension task with worksheet. Sticky arrow tabs indicate where in the textbook he can find the answers after we had read through it as a class. Was appreciative & got stuck in straight away.

Being a Biology teacher is requisitioning the quadrats the day the grass is cut and having to improvise😒😂

1P2 were looking at the formation of igneous rocks today 🪨 - what better way to demonstrate it than an edible experiment! (They even managed to wait until the chocolate cooled before they ate it 🤣🍫) @ScienceMGS_
