One of the winning 'Sands of Time' entries in our competition this afternoon to make a 60s timer for #BSW24 @BritSciAssoc @ScienceWeekUK great work Year 7 ⌛️😀

[DHSfG Science @DHSfG_Science]

Year 7 celebrated #BSW24 @BritSciAssoc @ScienceWeekUK this afternoon with a competition to make a 60 second timer. Several pairs came very close... brilliant problem solving 👏⏲️😀

[DHSfG Science @DHSfG_Science]

Starting the clock on #BSW24 @BritSciAssoc @ScienceWeekUK with a great turn out for KS3 Science Club at lunchtime today to make bath bombs 😀🫧

The final day’s work on our Sixth Form Biology Field Trip on the Yorkshire coast with @CranedaleCentre

[DHSfG Science @DHSfG_Science]

An exciting collaboration with https://t.co/OWTzjPvV9M ...fabric was boiled in 1% iron sulphate and 4% copper sulphate solution and dried. Our Artist in Residence wrapped the fabric around old flowers, the parcels were again boiled and dried. Finally... unravelled😀#chemistryart

[DHSfG Science @DHSfG_Science]

Hard at work 👍🏻 even into the evening on our Biology residential trip to the @CranedaleCentre

[DHSfG Science @DHSfG_Science]

More work completed by our Sixth Form Biologists investigating sand dune succession on the Yorkshire coast with @CranedaleCentre
