L6th had an incredible time @PlymUni for their Science and Engineering showcase. Really inspirational and great fun! #plymcolscience #plymcolenrich #STEM

[Science | Plymouth College @PlymColScience]

L6th biologists used potometers and got a bit carried away when asked to ‘look professional’ #plymcolbiology #plymcoll6th

[Science | Plymouth College @PlymColScience]

Our next generation on scientists were investigating the thermal properties of different materials. It’s great to see them so enthusiastic and working well together #plymcolscience #plymcoleducate

Thank you Plymouth Astronomical Society for an amazing Starry Night. Even though the cloud only allowed for glimpses of the Moon and Jupiter, the children LOVED making rockets, creating their own aliens and the ‘solar system in a fruit bowl’ #plymcolscience #plymcolenrich
