SCIENCE WEEK

We started off on Thursday last week with a STEM Roadshow where the girls were shown how engineering is at the front of space travel as well as ocean discovery. They took part in the interactive communication tasks and really enjoyed the huge props!

On Monday our very own Mr Andrews and Mr Stephens demonstrated some of the most fun chemistry experiments, with whoosh bottles and jelly babies and Irish Elephant toothpaste to name a few!

On Monday and Tuesday evenings, families from Year 8 from both St Teresa’s and Cranmore had a go at trying to solve the mystery of the missing Epsom Derby Trophy. Fingerprinting techniques, blood analysis and other forensic methods were used.

The whole school took part in a picture quiz, identifying various items from within the Science Department from very close-up photographs. Winning tutor groups will be announced next week.

On Thursday lunchtime the Year 7s were invited to take part in a glider competition; building and testing their own gliders. We had some amazing entries and all the girls who took part won a prize. The winning team of Piper K and Isabella M produced an epic glide of 6.10m which beat our in-house test glider! Well done to all who took part.
