S2 learning about enzymes in their digestive system. We couldn't do our planned practical with this enzyme due to issues with the water supply to the classroom so we improvised with some plasticine models to try and understand how our bodies digest carbohydrates 🌾

Brain dumps on the desk with S1 today at the end of the lesson 🧠

Last bit of consolidation of cell structure and function with S4 today before we move on to transport across the membrane. Nice way to spend a last period on a Friday @balfronhigh #wearebalfron #buildingfuturestogether

[Miss Holbein @MissHolbein]

S4 national 5 biology pupils consolidating what they have learned about animal cell structure and function and taking part in a bit of active learning 👩🏻‍🏫😁 @balfronhigh #wearebalfron #buildingfuturestogether

@NASUWT_Scotland new teacher induction day. As always super informative and well fed 👌🏻

Delighted to be allocated Stirling council for my probation year and even more over the moon to return to @balfronhigh after such a brilliant experience there on my first placement 😄

Lovely to see everyone at @allsaintsrcsec today. @Shannon_FARE and the barista pupils killing it again with the best coffee and festive tea ☕

Brrrrr, temperatures are falling but Atlantic fish have an antifreeze protein to stop ice crystals growing in their cells. Scientists use these proteins to preserve organs at low temperatures for transplantation.🐟❄️

Message us for an online protein talk.

Best group of people ❤️ thank you so much for all the support 🙏🏻

[Miss Holbein @MissHolbein]

@Shannon_FARE @allsaintsrcsec Wouldn't miss it for the world 🌎 will miss you all

[Miss Holbein @MissHolbein]

Last lesson with S2 at @allsaintsrcsec learning about body systems. Kids drew round each other, labelled the organs and their functions and stuck them in the correct place 👩🏻‍🔬

🐭🦔🦇❄️ With winter coming hedgehogs, bats, and dormice are going into hibernation. Uncoupling Protein 1 helps them generate heat from chemical energy without needing to shiver.
