What a fantastic start to the year science club have got off to. We have been delighted to have returning members and so many new members from Year 7 who have brought so much curiosity and enthusiasm to the group.
We have spent time developing our skills in all three sciences including making batteries, using microscopes and preparing slides, speeding up reactions using catalysis and measuring rates of reaction using the iodine clock reaction. We celebrated Halloween by making non-Newtonian fluids (slime!), bonfire night by carrying out flame tests and Christmas, well we won’t ruin the surprise in case anyone gets these as presents!
Next term we will be continuing to develop our skills by extracting DNA from fruit, working with the Discover Materials Group and learning what Calix[4]arenes are that Dr Patchett keeps talking about.
Well done science club for all for your effort this term, wishing you all a fantastic Christmas break and see you in 2026!
