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:

Testing for glucose.

Today 5D tested different foods to see if they contained glucose. Here they are in action:

Y6 test light sensitivity in maggots

The experiment today was to test one of the MRS NERG living processess Sensitivity. 

Are maggots sensitive to light? We designed an experiment to see if they like or avoid light. See Y6 in action below:
