Year 10 Triple (T2) used model waves to investigate how wave speed changes with the depth of water today. Da iawn blwyddyn 10. Have a lovely half term all. Excellent pupils! @MorristonComp

Year 7 pupils were given the opportunity to lead their own learning about plant and animal cells in Mrs Beck’s class. They had the choice of learning through origami, drawing and labelling cells on their desks or through playing a game. Fantastic!

9F3 pupils completed a nutrient scavenger hunt in teams in Dr. Forsyth’s class before sharing their findings with their partners. We’ve enjoyed the start to our healthy lifestyle topic. Healthy diet, healthy body, healthy mind, healthy motivations @MorristonComp

9E3 did an excellent job at making and wiring mini shoebox houses today with Mrs Beck. They used a mixture of series and parallel circuits to light up their shoebox homes and these were just some of the fantastic results. Future electricians in the making? @MorristonComp

Year 8 have built upon their knowledge of acid reactions even further this week. Today they made copper sulfate from a copper oxide base and sulfuric acid. Watch this space for the copper sulfate crystals to form as they leave the solution to evaporate over the weekend 👩🏻���🔬

8E1 used trial and error to find the point of neutralisation between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide today. They were challenged to add and then adjust their volumes of acid and alkali until a neutral pH was reached. Da iawn blwyddyn 8!

[MCS Science @MCS_science]

Year 8 have been learning all about acids and alkalis so far this term. Today they tested lots of household items to determine their pH and whether they were acid, alkali or neutral. Da iawn blwyddyn 8! Arddechog!
