From separating mixtures to investigating the anatomy of the eye, see what our scientists have been up to in the labs this week!
Year 7 Science: Separating Mixtures 
Some of our Year 7 pupils have been mastering the art of separation! They worked scientifically to learn how to use filtration to separate an insoluble solid from a mixture.
Great work, Year 7!
Year 9 Science: Respiration in Action 
Pupils in Mr Higham’s class developed their knowledge of anaerobic respiration across different organisms. They investigated respiration in yeast by accurately counting the bubbles of carbon dioxide produced in two-minute intervals.
Our young biologists showed great focus while collecting their data—fantastic work, Year 9!
Year 10 Triple Science: The Eye 👁️
Ms Dunphy’s Year 10 Triple Science pupils were in the lab for a hands-on investigation into the structure of the eye.
The session allowed the pupils to explore biological structures up close, helping them connect their classroom learning to real-world anatomy. It was a productive morning of high-level Science—well done to everyone for their precision and focus.
