6G spring into action

Post exams we have been looking at forces on springs. Lots of accurate measurements and making sure our investigation is a fair test. 

Roedean Science Challenge

Today ten Brambletye girls went to Roedean to take part in their Science Challenge. 

First a look at time in Physics

Then to Chemistry to analyse some chemicals

Finally Biology where the girls found out which snacks had the most energy

We were well looked after by Roedean and their Science staff were very complimentary about the girls’ ability in the lab. 

Well done

Year 7 look at stoma under the microscope

Year 7 have been working on photosynthesis and today they looked at prints from the underside of leaves through the microscope. They saw the little holes through which carbon dioxide enters the leaf. These are called stoma. See them hard at work here:

Year 6 meet the Bunsen burner

Today 6G explored the heating abilities of the Bunsen burner. They learned how to light it safely and saw the different flames it could produce. See them in action below:

Year 5 test Materials

In this week’s double lesson Y5 were testing the properties of materials

Here they are in action:

Testing sizeScratch hardnessElectrical conductivity Reflectivity Waterproofness

Y7 work with acids and alkalis

Year 7 used titration to work out which sample of acid was more concentrated. 

This follows their testing soils to see if they are acidic or alkaline 

Y5 scientists at the Bradfield Science Competition

Three challenges Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Here they are in action:
