Year 12 and 13 Biologists, Chemists and Psychologists took part in the Royal Institution’s Forensic Science Youth Summit today! They thoroughly enjoyed discussing the forensic files! Great links to their specification of uncertainty, causation and correlation!

Some examples of fabulous homework from Year 8 in Science! Studying the atmosphere and so to broaden their knowledge they were asked to research the different types of clouds. #linkingsciencetoeverydaylife

Year 8 students enjoyed demonstrating the rock cycle using starburst sweets! Cutting them up to show weathering and erosion to form sediments, then compacting = sedimentary then heat and pressure = metamorphic before forming igneous rock.

A firm favourite for the Year 10 Scientists today in Physics!

[Official RBA Science @rba_science]

Some of our Year 9 and 10 Scientists participated in the GCSE Science in Action conference yesterday. They were treated to 5 speakers talking on a range of topics including astronomy which was a favourite by the students! Thank you to Mr Spiller @MrSpillerSci for organising!

Great fun in our Year 12 Biology lesson today with bubble membranes! Soap bubbles are chemically similar to cell membranes so we explored what can pass through or not.

Year 13 Biologists have dissected a lamb’s kidney today before beginning their studies on how our kidneys function to filter our blood and form urine.

Mr Jackson’s Year 8 class has been investigating the effect of different wavelengths on the rate of photosynthesis.

[Official RBA Science @rba_science]

Year 12 Biologists researched a career linked to their topic of Cells including epidemiologists, haemotologists, pathologists. For Tilly this was right up her street with her ambition to obtain a degree in a Bachelor of Science studying botany!
