My favourite part of Chemistry - FOSSILS ❤

8A preparing for their MYP C by collecting data to see how the volume of air in a beaker affects the time a candle burns for 🔥 @DrCourtDGS

7C studying the chemical reactions between different metals and hydrochloric acid 🫧 @DrCourtDGS

We can get arty in chemistry too! Year 9 are revising Chemistry of the Atmosphere in preparation of their end of unit exam, and upcoming end of year exams🌋🌏🌊🍃 @DrCourtDGS @DartfordGS

Year 12 have been working hard experimentally determining the order of reaction, it isn't an easy task! A few also recorded themselves to help prepare when it comes to carrying out their IAs, I feel an IB Chemistry vlog in the works...👩‍🔬 @DrCourtDGS

8A have been testing for different gases 🔥 last years record for the most times a splint would relight was smashed! A total of 17 times this year 🤯 @DrCourtDGS

Final week to see 7 planets align in our sky! I managed to spot Mercury, Venus and Jupiter this evening ✨️ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

9D were super busy yesterday, spending the double lesson testing for both cations and anions! @DrCourtDGS @DartfordGS

7C getting ready for their first MYP B assessment! Some brilliant scientific minds already, and it has only been a couple of months since starting at DGS! @DrCourtDGS @DartfordGS

Final one from 8A this week, investigating total internal reflection 🪞 (also started to see some dispersion happening, so keep you eyes peeled for next weeks practical!) @DartfordGS @DrCourtDGS

10A1 putting their practical skills to the test with titrations last week! @DartfordGS @DrCourtDGS

8A keeping busy, this time with investigating refraction! 🔍 @DartfordGS @DrCourtDGS

8A have been busy the past few lessons investigating light 💡 Law of Reflection being tested here! @DartfordGS @DrCourtDGS

9D attempted to identify whether an element was a metal or non-metal based on their physical properties. Turns out a few can be deceiving! 🪙 @DartfordGS @DrCourtDGS

9A testing the chemical properties of metals and non-metals 🎨 @DartfordGS @DrCourtDGS

7C earlier in the week testing the strength of "bones" 🦴 @DartfordGS @DrCourtDGS

When the student becomes the teacher 👨‍🏫 9D became experts on their particular periodic table today, ready to share their knowledge and teach their peers. Eventually evaluating the development of the periodic table! @DrCourtDGS @DartfordGS

8A working together as farmers to try and make the most profit on their land using their knowledge of ecosystems and plant biology 🌱🌾 @DrCourtDGS @DartfordGS

Ready for Open Evening in the Chemistry lab 🔥👩‍🔬👨‍🔬⚗️ @DartfordGS

7C have spent a lot of time learning how to write scientific reports and create their own methods for experiments. Yesterday, they got to carry out their own method to see if they could collect reliable results! 💦🔥 @DrCourtDGS @DGSSciCollege @DartfordGS

Today 12H1 put their standard solutions to the test during titration 🟠 let's see if their methods were accurate and they can use math to identify the concentration of the acid tomorrow... @DGSSciCollege @DrCourtDGS @DartfordGS
