A great week of learning ahead at West OS!

Loads of topics and experts to really make us think, question and challenge our understanding.

Have a look and sign up!

[West OS @west_os]

Superb BGE LIVE! Loved learning about microorganisms!

🌟We know what they are
🌟We know the positives and negatives
🌟And we got to speak with a "real" Scientist!

Well done to the great young people who asked amazing questions. We learned new vocabulary, facts and experiments!

[rachael hewitt @RachEpigenetics]

Had a blast with @west_os today and so many amazing questions from the young learners- I was blown away with all their fantastic queries and problem solving! Great work!!!

[West OS @west_os]

A superb STEM morning exploring Density!

Amazing young people problem solving, predicting and lab reporting their hypothesis.

Hugh thanks to @RachEpigenetics for engaging everyone and taking us through our LAVA lamp experiment!

[West OS @west_os]

And amazing results and feedback from our young people!

[West OS @west_os]

Fascinating & interactive BGE LIVE... learning about DNA with 50 different classes!

🌟Superb answers from the young people involved as they worked hard to achieve their success criteria!🌟

Sign up for our next STEM lesson on Density!

👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 WE ARE SCIENTISTS👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 What a week! 📣Special shoutout to our P7s for planning a great @ScienceWeekUK #BSW24 👏There were meta-skills galore @skillsdevscot & excellent chats about jobs & futures in STEM @STEMglasgow @DYWGlasgow @YoungSTEMLeader #cpslovesSTEM

[rachael hewitt @RachEpigenetics]

Our SPARK volunteers @Merck_lifesci have paired up with @gsc1 to participate in the Meet the Expert session! The team were super excited to showcase the Biosafety techniques we perform every day in our Race to Identify Virus X! #SPARKCuriosity #STEMeducation

[West OS @west_os]

Fantastic week of learning at West OS:
✅Race equality lesson 3- we explored bias & stereotypes. Answers from young people-superb!
✅Solarpunk Island lesson 2- we learned about 15 minute cities and renewable energy with Joe @KSBScotland- thankfully we are surviving island life!

[Merck Life Science @Merck_lifesci]

Meet Matt! He's a scientist (playing a detective!) on a mission to find mycoplasma, a pesky little bacteria. Watch the video to find out why that's so important.

[rachael hewitt @RachEpigenetics]

Our @Merck_lifesci team had a great day talking to S1 pupils @KingsParkSec - so excited to support SCQF young STEM leaders too! A jam packed week of events!

[West OS @west_os]

Wow- we loved learning about all things Microorganisms and pH with @RachEpigenetics on our BGE LIVE today!

Another superb lesson with so many impressive young people answering on flagella, growth conditions and pH values.

Lovely having such fantastic feedback.
