Grade 9 Science

What a brilliant start to the IGCSE co-ordinated Science course for Grade 9. They are a great group of students and I have enjoyed working with them very much this week. We started the IGCSE material straight away, as there is a lot of content to cover over the next...

Grade 8 Science

It was great to meet Grade 8 this week! They are a lovely group of students and were all happy to start off the academic year with an experiment. In our lessons this week we reminded ourselves of the health and safety rules in a Science lab by carrying out the...

Microscopy galore

Lots of practical work as usual this week. Plant Physiology microscopy, waves and light, respiration and transport, evolution and chemical equilibrium.  And the mesocosm is still running strong!!!  Well done scientists! ...
