Year 8 Investigates Pressure in Liquids

Our Year 8 scientists have been diving into the fascinating world of liquid pressure, exploring how pressure increases with depth and discovering just how deep the ocean can be! Students created their own mini-octopus models in bottles to demonstrate how pressure affects objects in liquids. This hands-on investigation brought the science to life, helping students understand the challenges faced by deep-sea creatures as they explore the ocean's depths. A fantastic combination of creativity, curiosity and scientific discovery!

Year 7 Investigates The Digestive System

Our Year 7 scientists got hands-on with the digestive system by creating a real-life model of how food travels through the body! Students explored the different stages of digestion, discovering how food is broken down, nutrients are absorbed and waste is produced. The highlight of the lesson was recreating the final stages of digestion by making their very own model poo! A fun, memorable and slightly messy way to bring human biology to life!
