Science at Montgomery Academy

British Science week is 11-20th March! See the website: britishscienceweek.org

Mr Johnston from @MontyScience was our special guest. He clearly and calmly took us through an informative dissection demonstration before supporting us through our own! Joe looking particularly relaxed throughout the introduction!

My headteacher proved that retrieval practice works by memorising the birthdays of every year 11 student (230) and every staff member 🤯

📢#BSW22 announcement! The British Science Week 2022 activity packs are now live and available to download for free🥳! The theme of this year’s packs is ‘Growth’ and all 4 packs are brimming with activities from creating seed bombs🌱, to designing aeroplanes🛩️! Thread 👇

Remember Seneca homework is set every Monday morning and is due the following Monday at 9am. There is so much research to show that retrieval practice is very powerful for learning.

Year 9: Unfortunately the boys' Lancashire Cup run came to an end today as they were beaten 3-0 by Holy Cross. A great effort by all involved. ⚽️👍

@DrJohnODonoghue They also used tinsel purchased from a local charity shop to create a tinsel DNA double helix centre piece and turned copper coins into gold and silver coins to use as decoration. They used recycled materials to build Keith our lab elf a sleigh #OChemistree

@DrJohnODonoghue Students at Montgomery Academy made their #chemistree by melting old wax crayons to make baubles, recycling used Petri dishes to grow salt Christmas trees and make glittery agar plates decorations.

Year 11: It's not all work, work, work. Year 11 photo this morning. Thanks to Mr McArdle's organisation and Mr Chandler's wonderful drone work....
