Y13 biologists did a genetics practical advanced DNA technology knowledge to create a recombinant bacterial strain that glows under UV light! Really stretching their skills in lab work, bringing gene technology to life! @uckfieldcollege #lovelearningforlife #uckfieldcollege

Year 13 Biologists used gel electrophoresis to solve a crime by genetic fingerprinting! Applying their knowledge to the practical techniques used in genetic labs. A steady hand was needed to prepare the samples - whodunnit?! @uckfieldcollege #uckfieldcollege #lovelearningforlife

Y10 were Thinking hard on Deep Learning Day - triple Biologists investigating Decay! #lovelearningforlife #uckfieldcollege @uckfieldcollege

Today Y12 Biologists made DNA models to apply the theory to a physical example of learning. They then evaluated each other's polymers! #uckfieldcollege #lovelearningforlife @uckfieldcollege

Year 7 were measuring speed today - using distance and time taken to calculate a mean speed of a toy car.
Learning in action! #uckfieldcollege #lovelearningforlife @uckfieldcollege

Our Y12 Biology students were getting hands on and thinking hard about the structure of monomers and polymers this week. They worked in small teams to make the molecule, making the theoretical knowledge visible. #uckfieldcollege #lovelearningforlife @uckfieldcollege

Year 12 have been using the Mark, Release, Recapture method in Biology to estimate the size of a population... of maggots! Robert and Jake's estimation was just one off - very impressive!  Excellent work year 12. @uckfieldcollege #lovelearningforlife #uckfieldcollege

Last Thursday students from East Sussex Schools joined us for a fantastic evening about studying Medicine.
Activities and speakers from BSMS and MedicPortal and everyone tried UCAT questions!
Organised by Uckfield MedSoc @UckfieldCollege #lovelearningforlife #uckfieldcollege

Last week Y12 Biology students dissected the heart for their Required Practical on mass transport in mammals.
They had to identify and label major parts and learnt that the books don't always look like the real thing! @uckfieldcollege #lovelearningforlife

Yesterday Y12 Biologists investigated surface area to volume ratio and diffusion with colour changing cubes to understand why complex organisms need to have transport and exchange systems. @UckfieldCollege #uckfieldcollege #lovelearningforlife

Last week 14 Y11 students went to the Victoria Apollo to see GCSE Science Live!
We saw Maggie Aderin Pocock, Robert Winston, Jim Al-Khalili and others speak and had tips from an examiner on how to succeed in the summer GCSEs. #uckfieldcollege #lovelearningforlife @UckfieldCollege

Year 12 have been doing fantastic work outside of lessons to help their understanding of the immune system. Nell, Joy, Jake, Poppy, Arthur, Komola, Lilly we are so impressed, well done @UckfieldCollege @UckColl_6thForm #uckfieldcollege #lovelearningforlife #alevelbiology

We enjoyed a visit from Year 6 students at Newick Primary School last week to do some chemistry - we think they had a good time too! @uckfieldcollege #lovelearningforlife #uckfieldcollege

[Uckfield College Science Department @UckColl_Science]

Y13 Physics students were thinking hard today as they carried out a practical investigation around charging and discharging capacitors @UckfieldCollege #uckfieldcollege #lovelearningforlife #alevelphysics
