THE SCIENCE<br />
OF EXPLORATION<br />
TOP OF THE BENCH<br />
We took a team to PGS to represent Mayville in the<br />
national Top of the Bench competition, organised<br />
by the Royal Society of Chemistry. Competing<br />
against 15 schools from Hampshire, Dorset<br />
and Wiltshire, pupils tested their experimental<br />
skills in chemistry. Team Mayville, comprising<br />
Gabby, Gimena and Isaac, won an award for Best<br />
Laboratory Practice. Congratulations!<br />
GENETICS<br />
Year 8 (L4) have been making imaginary creatures,<br />
called ‘Reebops, to explore the relationships<br />
between genes and inherited traits.<br />
FOOD ENERGY<br />
Year 7 (Remove) have been investigating the energy<br />
content in food. <strong>The</strong> experiment involved recording<br />
the temperature change of the water when burning<br />
different types of food, to calculate their respective<br />
energy levels.
