Really excited to share my “12 Days of Science at Christmas” STEM activity booklet with my S1 classes. Inside are 12 Christmas experiments which can be easily done at home. I then relate the skills developed to real life STEM jobs. #STEMeducation

Was thrilled to hear that I marked to SQA standard for the advanced higher biology projects this year. 🙌🏼 Such good CLPL that I can pass on at department level. 🧬

It’s been a while… I’ve been looking after my new classroom pet for a few months now, around 10 Indian stick insects 🐜 pupils are so invested in them. 🙌🏼

Total adore getting back outdoors with classes, we’ve been out sampling the school grounds the past few periods🪱 🌱

Totally loved my first year of teaching advanced higher biology projects. So proud of the young people and their dedication 🔬🪴🙌🏼

Zombie apocalypse has taken over, but what’s causing it?! Very visual lesson with S1’s today, within their ‘Science We Can’t See’ topic.

A fun-filled day of AH Bio experiments on Friday with a fab group of teachers.

[Ms Diamond @MissDiamondBio]

Had a fantastic day at @SSERCBiology full of Advanced Higher practicals! Was also great to network with other biologists. 🧪 🧫

S1’s problem solved their way through creating real life circuits, here they’ve drawn and set up school hall lights in a parallel circuit. ⚡️

Fantastic night for the S1 Halloween disco 🎃 well done to all pupils involved!

[Linlithgow Academy @Linlithgow_Acad]

Some photographs from our Halloween Disco tonight. Costumes are great!

[Ms Diamond @MissDiamondBio]

First day at @FVCollege with the @Linlithgow_Acad Adv H Biologist’s was great! Looking forward to day 2 tomorrow. 🧪 🧬

[Ms Diamond @MissDiamondBio]

@MLynch_Science Lots of different ones actually! Some looking at vitamin c in fresh/frozen/tinned fruit, others protease based projects, others dentistry related topics. Great mix!

[Ms Diamond @MissDiamondBio]

Fantastic to see the Advanced Higher Biology pilot studies getting started, lots of excited and inspired pupils. 🧪 🧬
