Our lower sixth Biologists enjoyed a day of seminars from Dr Guy Sutton of Medical Biology Interactive this week. In the morning we looked into Forensic science and in the afternoon, looked at the molecular bases of Health and Disease. Challenging and inspiring. @AmpleforthColl
Huge thanks from @AmpleforthColl to the staff and undergraduates of The School of Physics, Engineering and Technology at York University who gave up their time to give our students such a fantastic experience!
Our Sixth form Physicists enjoyed a day at @YorkUniversity yesterday. Our hosts in the School of Physics treated us to a fascinating variety of activities ranging from investigating laser diffraction to a visit to the Astrocampus. @AmpleforthColl #STEM
Some of our Year 10 Scientists had a great day out in Sheffield yesterday with @gcsesciencelive - they listened to a fantastic variety of inspirational #STEM speakers from all areas of Science including Robert Winston, Simon Singh and Hannah Critchlow @AmpleforthColl
Investigating the Physics of light with our year 10 scientists today - refraction experiments. @AmpleforthColl #STEM @PhysicsNews Practical work is a core element of effective science teaching.
Yesterday we welcomed Dr Guy Sutton (Medical Biology Interactive) Our Upper Sixth Form Biologists were treated to a masterclass in Neuroscience covering all bases from comparative anatomy of mammalian brains to advances in neuroscience using organoids. @AmpleforthColl
Our Lower Sixth form Chemists enjoying practical work today……organic synthesis reactions @RoySocChem @AmpleforthColl Effective A level Science always involves practical work.
Our Year 7 Science students were learning about great female scientists this week. #WomenInSTEM…Plenty to choose from including Rosalind Franklin, Rachel Carson, Ada Lovelace, Marie Curie and Dorothy Hodgkin @AmpleforthColl
Our future medics and vets had another practice session at Multiple Mini Interviews yesterday…..one of the stations involved role play….dealing with a difficult colleague! @AmpleforthColl @Amp_CollStB
Yesterday our Year 13 Medicine applicants ran through a practice MMI interview session - a really challenging process involving 7 mini interviews ranging from a role play exercise to medical ethics. Well done to all! @AmpleforthColl
Our IGCSE Chemists enjoying practical work this week #STEM @AmpleforthColl
Our Year 10 Physicists investigated static electricity today! @AmpleforthColl #womeninSTEM
Great to welcome @medicprojects to @AmpCollScience department today. Amy Hooper and Dr Alice Deviney gave a superb presentation to our Year 11 and 12 aspiring medics. Some great questions from the students meant an hour talk become nearly two! @AmpleforthColl
Upper Sixth Biologists @AmpleforthColl investigating the effect of antibiotics on bacteria. Real world science forms an essential part of our curriculum. who.int/news-room/fact-sheet…
As we approach half term, a chance to reflect on practical activities both in and out of the lab in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Practical work is an essential part of the effective teaching of Science @AmpleforthColl @RoyalSocBio @PhysicsNews @RoySocChem
