❤️ Hands-On Science, Exploring the Heart, Diffusion and Osmosis 🔬

It has been another exciting and practical week in Science, with both our KS3 and IGCSE students taking part in engaging, hands-on learning.

In KS3 Science, students explored the structure of the heart through a detailed sheep heart dissection. This gave learners the opportunity to identify key features such as the chambers and major blood vessels, helping to bring their learning to life.

To further develop their understanding, students used pipe cleaners to model the flow of blood through the heart, demonstrating how blood moves between different chambers and vessels. It was fantastic to see such enthusiasm, curiosity and confidence during the practical work.

In IGCSE Science, students continued their learning on diffusion, exploring additional factors that can affect the rate at which it occurs. They also investigated osmosis through a practical experiment using potato cylinders placed in different concentrations of sugar solution.

Students measured the mass of the potato before and after to determine whether it had gained or lost mass, helping them understand how water moves across a partially permeable membrane.

A key part of the learning was analysing results, and students did an excellent job of representing their data in graphsand drawing clear conclusions from their findings.

It has been a brilliant week of practical science, with students showing great engagement, teamwork and scientific thinking throughout. 🔬
