Year 9 have been looking at cheek and onion cells under the microscope, as they start their GCSE Biology course #sciencepracticals #scienceinaction #GCSEBiology

[St Mary's School Science Department @StMarysScienceD]

The year 12 and 13 biologists went to Amersham field studies centre on Tuesday to do the sampling for their required practical. #Biology #scienceinaction

Year 10s have been using smarties to understand limiting factors in photosynthesis #biology #photosynthesis

Year 9 biologists have now completed their first required practical of their GCSE course. They looked at cheek and onion cells under the microscope. #gcsescience #microscopes

To recap their prior knowledge at the start of the GCSE Biology course last week, Year 9 students helped to make a model of a cell with jelly and sweets. #biology #scienceisfun

Year 10 biologists have been investigating the effect of light intensity and wave length by using immobilised algal cells inside jelly balls #photosynthesis #biology

[St Mary's School Science Department @StMarysScienceD]

This week year 10 biologists have been looking at the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis of pondweed. The move the pondweed closer and further from the light source and counted the number of bubble produced to see the effect #photosynthesisinaction #biology

This week year 5 have been looking at dissolving. They took 1g of candyfloss and saw how many drops of water were needed to dissolve it #scienceinaction #chemistry #dissolving

[St Mary's School Science Department @StMarysScienceD]

Year 5 has started their separating materials topic and this week they were looking at how different sized solids can be separated by sieving. Have a look in your homes to see where you use sieving everyday #chemistry #separatingmaterials #scienceinthehome

This week our year 12 biologists made an animation of a phagocyte engulfing a pathogen #biology #immunity #scienceandmedia

Here is an article about the genone and how it has been used in genetic screening, which year 11 have been learning about recently https://t.co/QObQhhV1xz #biology #genetics #genomeandgenetics

Maisie in Year 13 won a silver award in the Biology Olympiad this year, which is run by the Royal Society of Biology. This is only won by 10% of the student that enter, well done Maisie #biology #biologyoplympiad

Year 5 have been investigating how many drops of water are required to dissolve 5g of candyfloss this week in Science #scienceinaction #chemistry

Last week in science Year 5 were investigating the tensile strength of strawberry laces! #scienceinaction #physics

This week Year 10 Biologists have been looking at the nervous system and have made different cells using what they have in their houses #biology #scienceathome #nervoussystem

Heard about antimicrobial resistant? Then here is an article you may be interested in as research starts into this area: https://t.co/AG31TjUKTu #research #antimicrobialresistant #oxforduniversity

the representation of girls in A-Level physics (< 25% in England) has barely changed in ~ 30 years, despite good intentions + endless outreach campaigns. we *really* need to invest in quality physics education, train career advisors + tackle stereotypes beyond science classrooms.

You may remember Saana, Year 12, created an incredible vaccination animation. This week her animation (via QR code) was embedded in a full page advert within The Times - therefore being shared with the whole national readership of this broadsheet. Amazing!
