An excellent finish to an afternoon of talks @gcsesciencelive from @theAliceRoberts and @jimalkhalili

[TGS_Science @TGS_Science]

Amazing inspiring talks so far @gcsesciencelive
So much passion from Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, @helenczerski and @davecliff

I'm re-posting this to @Science_AQA as I had no reply from @AQA ...
GCSE Trilogy Combined Science FT exam grade boundary is 27-30 marks adrift of previous years.
*Is this justifiable?*
2023: 230 marks for a 44
2022: 203 marks for a 44
2019: 200 marks for a 44 (pre-COVID)

GCSE Trilogy Combined Science FT exam grade boundary is 27-20 marks adrift of previous years. Is this justifiable @AQA ?
2023: 230 marks for a 44
2022: 203 marks for a 44
2019: 200 marks for a 44
Note: 2019 is pre-covid.
Why has the grade boundary sky rocketed from 203 to 230?

Fantastic fossil cast made by Year 8 today!

Further #BritishScienceWeek assemblies on the theme of connections: Mr Cooper - life processes, Miss Lewthwaite - chemical reactions, Mrs Mansour - avocado and its significance with climate change and a joint assembly by Miss Moser and Mrs Carrier also explored climate change.

We kick-started a week of #BritishScienceWeek assemblies looking at the theme of connections, opening with Mr Lloyd showing Year 7 how water on planet Earth potentially got here from comets... showing how the Earth is linked to outer space.

Making a battery using @RoySocChem 'Take Charge' for #BritishScienceWeek2023
Here, we managed to light an LED with 4 cells using ethanoic acid, pennies and Al foil.

Well done to Alex in my Year 8 class for his "Planets in a box"

We had a great day out in London visiting the Royal Society - Summer Science Exhibition, learning about a range of new innovative technologies.

@myGridGB 65.2% gas and oil must be the highest recorded for a long time? Do we have any data on when we last burnt so much?

A deer distraction to Chemistry today #TGSYear11

[TGS_Science @TGS_Science]

@myGridGB It would be interesting to know a fuller breakdown... import/export and to whom

[TGS_Science @TGS_Science]

@myGridGB As a science secondary school teacher I check the figures regularly and share with students. It's a great way to share the fantastic work happening with renewable energy.

Some beautiful crystals of copper sulfate made by #TGSYear10 for their required practical.
