A busy British Science week for Yr 9. Triple scientists have competed in the Royal Society of Biology's Biology Challenge, Combined scientists have dissected lungs, and tomorrow the year group will visit the Big Bang Fair! #CognitaWay @Akeley_Wood @simonantwis @RoyalSocBio

More Yr 12 taster session news @AWSscience: Team Physics measured the precise thickness of their hair with laser interference patterns. Results ranging from 60-110 micrometers!

Year 11 students have been taking part in Year 12 taster sessions today. Team Biology have been investigating the effect of ethanol on heart rate in daphnia. #Akeley_Wood #CognitaWay

@10Ailsa We do! I'll send some across!

It was great to have some of our students visiting from Chile join our Year 12 Biologists for a heart dissection this afternoon! #CognitaWay #Akeley_Wood

Day 12 Challenge. My goals! To continue to develop as a practitioner and get better at being better! Differentiation is a focus for my #CTeach project. To support my tutees as they reach final GCSE exams, and with the post 16 decisions that are looming. #CognitaWay #Akeley_Wood

Day 11 Challenge. A big big shout out to ALL staff @Akeley_Wood who have worked so hard to support pupils this year. It's a profession that makes us laugh and cry, but ultimately we are all here to support pupils as they progress academically and grow as people #CognitaWay

[AWSscience @AWSscience]

Day 10 Challenge. I recommend Daisy Christodoulou's "Making good progress?" I used mutiple choice quizzes as a basis for @CharteredColl CTeach assignment - talking about why MC answer options are right/wrong provides good insight into pupil understanding #CognitaWay #Akeley_Wood

Day 9 Challenge. The view from the Teaching and Learning office. Not just a pretty field, but a classroom for yrs 10-13 Biology for sampling techniques. It's where training 9 Geographers have set up weather stations. It where PE students play rounders. #CognitaWay #Akeley_Wood
