@KJF239 I always go with the HIPPO factors (habitat destruction; invasive species; pollution; population growth; overexploitation). It's a nice starting point then I can go into more detail on the bits that are more relevant to the students.

@Miss_McF Enjoy! Hope it doesn't get too cold tonight!

Congratulations to the team from @BanffAcademyBXA who won the @Neptune_Energy EIP challenge organised by @SSERCSTEM with their project on tidal energy and building the most effective oilrig platform. A big thank you to our @ScotSTEMAmb ambassadors for all their help. Well done!

@matthewcsison @chatbiology I played keyword pictionary with my lot. Good revision, but lots of hilarity around putting concepts into pictures - lovely way to end the year!

@doc_kristy This is why single hole hole-punches were invented ☺️

🌟 Hot Chocolate Friday 🌟
Deputy Head Teacher Ms McColl was joined for a hot chocolate by our S3 STEM Leaders who have spent the last 2 weeks challenging our S1 Squads to make a paper aeroplane with good aerodynamics to fly the furthest.
Well done! 🏆 #recognition #overandabove

@CarrieScience Every time we learn a new keyword it gets added to a blooket with the definition as a multiple choice question and pupils have to pick the correct answer (from deliberately tricky options) so pupils are revising words from different parts of the course across the whole year.

Blown away by my S1 Science News homework submissions! All really interesting! I'm especially impressed by the pupil who worked out how many Munros she would need to climb to get as high as Bezos and Branson did! #beautifulwork #aboveandbeyond @BxaScience @BanffAcademyBXA
