including urban areas and country side as these
become more and more frequent and severe as a result
of global climate change. Students also designed their
own rain gauge to collect data on rainfall and then
present it to their peers. A session based on Biology
had students researching key features of various
biomes on the planet as well as the organisms that
inhabit those biomes. After this students were then
involved in exploring the human threats to the biomes.
They had to design and present solutions to overcome
these threats and maintain biodiversity.
The sessions were extremely valuable in further
developing the Science capital of our students while
offering them a chance to work in small teams and
demonstrate their communications skills to their
peers.
Virtual Talk - Clinical Genomics
As part of the National Science week, our A Level
Science students were offered an opportunity to attend
a virtual talk by Dr Lena Rai (Senior Clinical Scientist,
Department of Clinical Genomics, Royal Marsden
NHS Trust). It was organised virtually via Teams
focussing on ‘’Enabling Precision Medicine through
Genomics and Innovative Therapeutic Strategies.’’
It helped enrich the students understanding of how
Science has helped develop an array of applications
ranging in their use from offering an early diagnosis
of patients with rare diseases as well as facilitating
more effective use of cancer therapies. The session
helped enthuse the students and they not only engaged
with the lecture part of the session but also asked
the speaker very enriching and thought provoking
questions. Very well done!
Overall, the activities in the Science week were very
well received and helped maintain student curiosity,
motivation and engagement in the lessons even
further.
