CSI Stanborough! Intrepid Chemists identified unknown solutions during our A-level Induction by carrying out a series of qualitative analysis tests, observing characteristic reactions to determine their structures, properties & behaviours. Well done to all!

Daphnia's heart goes out to Stanborough!
Our new Biologists examined the effect of caffeine on the heart rate of Daphnia which supported the hypothesis that caffeine acts as a stimulant and increases the heart rate. Well done to all!

Stanborough locks in enzymes!
Stanborough Biologists-to-be using enzymes as catalysts as they are crucial in biotechnology making them valuable tools for various industrial processes.
Well done to our new Biologists!

Mrs Shah, Senior Science Technician writes: We welcomed our new cohort of physicists for the A-level induction today. Our physicists-to-be experimented with splitting of light into a spectrum. We are very fortunate to have a very enthusiastic new cohort for A-level Physics.

Today is #ShowYourStripes day!

This year, St Michael's Tower atop Glastonbury Tor is encouraging everyone to use the Climate Stripes to start a conversation about climate change and the actions they are taking.

Thank you @nationaltrust!

The Fruit Fly journey begins. Our Biologists started their journey to design & carry out a genetic linkage in Drosophila. We used true breeding stocks of a Wild type and Vestigial wing to study the inheritance patterns of the alleles and the statistics of the resulting data.

Welcome to Bubbles, our new axolotl! 😍

[Stanborough School @StanboroughS]

We are excited to introduce a new addition to our Science family. You guessed it! She's an Axolotyl and our students have named her Bubbles! Axolotls have the ability to regenerate parts of their bodies. This includes limbs, eyes and even parts of their brains. Welcome Bubbles!

In Biology, Year 9 are starting to learn about how we use and benefit from biotechnologies. With 9x1 today, we reminded ourselves about cell organelles, read an article and completed a Frayer diagram. Well done!
