Today #Year9 were challenged to put their knowledge of #distillation to the test. Students were asked to distill pure water from ink. They chose equipment to set up a simplified #still and triumphed. Well done all.

Our #Year10 students have been learning about #DNA extraction this week. Did you know you can extract DNA from strawberries by using salt, water, washing up liquid and ice cold methanol?
Aren’t the results fantastic!

Year 6 made bubbles today. They learnt about what changes the stability and strength of the bubble and about expansion and flexion. They also learnt how important it is to follow instructions and be patient!
