Period 0 Sessions
Throughout the week the Department organised period 0 sessions
for Key Stage 3 students which spanned across the three Sciences:
Physics, Chemistry and Biology. The main objective was to
overcome the misconception that Science does not exist outside
of Science labs and give the students an insight into the scientific
diversity of the real world around us.
The Chemistry session primarily focused on the diversity and role
of Chemistry in everyday life including the Chemistry of bath
bombs and fire extinguishers which are essential items in any
household and not just limited to the Chemistry labs. The students
engaged very well and definitely had a lot of fun making and
testing fragrant bath bombs as well as using household basics like
vinegar and sodium bicarbonate to put out tea light fires.
Physics sessions included an array of Physics practicals using very
simple household objects and materials which gave the students
an understanding of experiments that they could safely perform at
home whilst exploring the scientific concepts involved.
Biology took it a step further with the very popular animal or organ
dissections that the Key Stage 3 students got to perform or observe
with the help of Sixth Form Science student volunteers. They explored the diversity in the adaptations present
in different species which make organisms successful in their habitats.
All the activities that took place during Science week were extremely well received and helped develop student
curiosity and engagement in their Science lessons even further.
We are already looking forward to you joining us in the Science week activities in 2021.
