Year 8 always thoroughly look forward to their art/science collaboration lesson! The salt dough animal and plant cells are looking amazing. Great work! @1Penydre @PYD_ARTofficial

Year 9 were excellent! Flame tests and more. Da iawn pawb. @1Penydre

Mr Price has been teaching year 8 how to make salt crystals. Here we can see them reacting copper oxide and sulfuric acid. Then filtering the excess ready to evaporate the solution. Da iawn. @1Penydre

Acids and alkalis with Mr Evans today. Gwaith gwych! @1Penydre

Year 8 have been learning about cells. They have recently used the microscopes and so now are making model plant and animal cells from salt dough. Another successful art/science collaboration. @1Penydre @PYD_ARTofficial

The year 8 topic for this half term is acids and alkalis. Miss Bull challenged her class to make their own indicator from red cabbage. Ardderchog! @1Penydre

Mr Evans has been teaching KS3 how to use a microscope. So far they’ve looked at their own cheek cells. Next it’s on to plant cells. Da iawn pawb. @1Penydre

Miss Hands has been teaching year 8 all about the pH scale. Here we can see them investigating acids and alkalis. @1Penydre

Miss Hands, Mrs Richards, Miss Prosser and Mr Evans took some lucky year 9 students ice skating today. What a way to end the term! @1Penydre Merry Christmas from the science department! 🎄

Miss Hands ran a science trip to Bristol aquarium today. Everyone had an amazing time! @1Penydre

Hot chocolate, cream and marshmallows in cuppa curiosity today! The last one of the term. A massive thank you to Mr Evans and Miss Bull who helped out today! @1Penydre

Today Miss Hands took some students on a science trip! A range of ages all working together. Great work @1Penydre

Mr Evans has been teaching diffusion. Did you know the coloured sugar that is coating the skittles DISSOLVES in to the water and spreads out due to a process called DIFFUSION? @1Penydre

Year 10 were putting theory into practice today. Flame tests! Lithium, sodium and potassium. @1Penydre

Miss Hands had the pleasure of awarding the top 10 achievement point scorers in year 7 for November! Ardderchog! @1Penydre

We discovered all about the human body in science lunch club today! Followed by a quick quiz. Great work! @1Penydre

Miss Bull has been teaching year 7 about particle theory and energy transfer. Here they are applying their knowledge by investigating the cooling effect. Ardderchog! @1Penydre

Here are 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for the biobakes competition this year by Miss Hands. Some excellent entries. Da iawn. @1Penydre

Year 10 were revisiting the topic on separating mixtures this week. Here we can see chromatography. Great work.@1Penydre

This week in our science lunch club we discovered the alkali metals! @1Penydre
