Lots of trips out this month to celebrate Science :) thanks to all that went and made it such a great day

[St Ivo Academy @StIvoAcademy]

Year 7s are visiting the National Space Centre this week. Today half the year group enjoyed a talk in the planetarium, workshops to design their own rocket and free time around the centre. The other half of the year visits on Wednesday. @StIvoScience

[StIvoScience @StIvoScience]

Thanks to @MichaelHinton13 and @BabrahamInst for the invite! They had a great day! #SchoolsDay

[St Ivo Academy @StIvoAcademy]

A selection of Year 12s have today enjoyed the @BabrahamInst 25th School Day, a day of talks and experiments in exceptionally well equipped labs. This follows a kind visit from Michael, Rachel and Elena to speak to Year 12 about Scientific Posters.

[StIvoScience @StIvoScience]

Did anyone catch it? Our students were there having a fab time!

[Babraham Institute @BabrahamInst]

Catch @LouiseHubball talking to students about discovering new science and getting inspired by our #SchoolsDay on @BBCLookEast #Cambridge in 30 mins. https://t.co/ovfK77y8dl #science

[StIvoScience @StIvoScience]

@BabrahamInst @MichaelHinton13 Thanks for a fab day!

[StIvoScience @StIvoScience]

Online courses are a great way of demonstrating commitment to a field on UCAS forms, as well as attending talks at the Cambridge Science festival.

[Biochemical Society @BiochemSoc]

Thinking about studying biochemistry? Catch-up with our FREE online course Biochemistry: The molecules of life for a great introduction https://t.co/xi0VkcYJIF #ALevels #AlevelBiology #AlevelChemistry

One day left!

[Iain Dover @MrDoverRE]

The outreach project that @StIvoScience are looking to develop is looking popular. Daughter was very excited to drop her token in today

[StIvoScience @StIvoScience]

Pretty please! We have many, many ideas!

[St Ivo Academy @StIvoAcademy]

If shopping at @waitrose St Ives this month, please consider using your green token to support the Science department who are raising money to purchase equipment to use to support local primary schools.

The @KeeleUniversity #Astrophysics Research Experience week is taking place 8-12 July 2019. The project is aimed at Y10, Y11 & Y12 students with a keen interest in STEM & who are considering going on to study science at university. Deadline 25 Feb! Message me for application form

[StIvoScience @StIvoScience]

This is from the lesson B1f Testing foods covering the specification points: Describe how to test for starch, reducing sugars, lipids and proteins in food

[StIvoScience @StIvoScience]

7-minute Separate Science Challenge (Triple only)Create a quick table for each food test listing 1) Name of the test, 2) any chemicals needed, 3) positive result and 4) negative result. #edexcelscience #gcsescience

[StIvoScience @StIvoScience]

This is from the lesson P1a Vectors and scalars covering the specification points:Explain the difference between a vector and a scalar quantity. Describe the difference between displacement and distance, between weight and mass, and between velocity and speed.

[StIvoScience @StIvoScience]

5-minute Physics Challenge. Write down the definitions for a vector and a scalar. For each of these, explain why one is a vector and one is a scalar: displacement and distance, weight and mass, velocity and speed. #gcsescience #edexcelscience #alloverit #revision

[StIvoScience @StIvoScience]

This is from the lesson C1a States of matter covering the specification points: Name the three states of matter, and the physical changes that occur between them. Explain why the movement, energy and arrangement of particles change during changes of state.

[StIvoScience @StIvoScience]

5-minute Chemistry Challenge. Sketch particle diagrams for solid, liquid and gas. Underneath each, write three words to describe the arrangement, the energy and how the particles move. Draw arrows to show boiling, freezing and condensation.

[StIvoScience @StIvoScience]

This is from the lesson B1b Plant and animal cells covering the specification points:Recall and identify the parts of plant and animal cells. Describe why they are classified as being eukaryotic.

[StIvoScience @StIvoScience]

5-minute Biology Challenge. Draw and label an animal and a plant cell from memory as fast as you can. Correct it using the revision guide or internet. Now redraw it quicker and better! #gcsescience #5minbio #alloverit

[StIvoScience @StIvoScience]

Day until the first GCSE exam: 123days(that’s 17weeks) Today we launch our 5 minute a day tasks as part of your revision. #gcsescience #alloverit

[StIvoScience @StIvoScience]

This years Engineering scheme off to a great start!

[St Ivo Academy @StIvoAcademy]

Over the past two days a group of A Level Science students have been at Cambridge university experiencing life as an engineering student. Well done to all involved!

[StIvoScience @StIvoScience]

Get applying Y12!

[UNIQ @OxfordUNIQ]
