Thanks to @UniWestScotland for inviting our students along to the zoology conference today.
We loved hearing the 4th year students talks, the opportunity to network with a variety of organisations and our tour of the facilities.

Mrs McGuire's S2 classes spent today learning about Alice Ball, an African American chemist who found the most effective treatment for leprosy.
We had some fantastic discussions on her work and got involved in carrying out our own chemical reactions

Some more of our amazing STEM leaders preparing to welcome our next cohort of primary 7s into the Science department on Tuesday!

[OLHSMotherwellScientists @OLHSMScience]

Extremely proud of our STEM leaders and I hope you enjoyed this afternoon as much as we did!
For those pupils who weren't able to attend this afternoon's session and still want to be involved, there will be a catch up session on tuesday after school!

What an absolutely fantastic afternoon we've had in Science.

Our senior pupils volunteered their time to learn some experiments which we will be rolling out to our P7 pupils from @StBrendansPS @BernadettesPS @OlgaPrimary !

We can't wait to get started!

The standard is HIGH with our S3 Biology classes model cells this year.

S3 consolidated their knowledge of animal, plant, bacterial and fungal cell organelles by creating these models as a home learning task!

Well done everyone 🔬

What a great morning we have had with the @OLHSMotherwell team!

[OLHSMotherwellScientists @OLHSMScience]

Mrs McGuire and Miss Greenhill's boys are back; a full year of growing between these two photos!
The Science young team took on the 6k today to raise funds for St Andrew's Hospice!

Miss Sweeney's S3 biologists have been learning about diffusion using skittles!

[OLHSMotherwellScientists @OLHSMScience]

We welcomed Dr Richard Thacker from @UniWestScotland into the department this morning to speak to our senior school Science pupils about the variety of Science courses on offer at UWS.

[OLHSMotherwellScientists @OLHSMScience]

Mrs McGuire's 3rd year biology completed their "chilli challenge" today using playdoh to consolidate learning about cell structure!
