Harper Green Science

Well done to our latest Scientists of the Week! Superb work in and out of lessons. @HarperGreen

In it’s new Monday night slot Science Club returned for 2026! Students utilised the wonder of chemistry (reaction of copper sulphate solution with ammonia gas) to turn invisible writing into something they could see. Well done! @HarperGreen

Well done to Scientists of the Week and Sparx certificate winners! Fantastic effort. Have a fantastic Christmas! @HarperGreen

Mr Connor’s Gardening Club transfered their garlic cloves from test tubes to the raised beds in the Harper Green garden yesterday. The first of many vegetables to go in there! Great work! @HarperGreen

Y10 learnt how to wire a plug as part of Physics Unit 2 Electricity yesterday. Some future electricians in the class? @HarperGreen

A festive final Science Club of 2025 saw Science Clubbers make benzoic acid crystal Christmas decorations using Bunsen burners. Well done and merry Christmas! @HarperGreen

Check out our latest scientists of the Week!! Well done to them all. @HarperGreen

Thank you to Rhys from MBDA who came and delivered a talk to Y10 students about the many different science and engineering careers in the defence sector. On Friday, Rhys inspired students reflecting about his career path and future opportunities in this growing sector

With our science technicians leading the mission, students took on an exciting challenge—purifying muddy water using cotton buds, sand and activated charcoal. A great display of Harper Values throughout. Looking forward to seeing the results next week! @CommandoJoes #STEM

Well done to 7D who dissected flowers today and identified all of the parts that they had learnt about. Mr Robinson said you were amazing 🧑🏻‍🔬🌺🌻🌸👩🏽‍🔬 @HarperGreen

Well done to our latest scientists of the week! Proud of you all @HarperGreen

A firey Science Club tonight! @HarperGreen

Science clubbers enjoyed reacting glycerol and potassium permanganate tonight. The glycerol is violently oxidised by the permanganate to produce flames and smoke! Well done everyone. @HarperGreen

Here’s a couple of rockets exploding into orbit in real time and slo-mo wait for it)! @HarperGreen

A fantastic Science Club tonight with Mr Robinson! Students made mini exploding rockets by harnessing the pressure of the gas produced when bicarbonate of soda reacted with ethanoic acid in little canisters! @HarperGreen

Mr Connor’s Plant club transferred their tomato plants from the seed trays to plant pots this week! The students are very excited to see them grow. @HarperGreen

Mr Connor’s Plant Club continues to grow from strength to strength. The students have started growing tomatoes and peppers from seeds as well as Mother of Thousands plants. They are excited to soon plant them outdoors in the school ‘garden’! @HarperGreen

Well done to our latest Scientists of the Week! Fantastic work in and out of school. Keep it up! @HarperGreen

Well done to our latest Scientists of the Week! Brilliant work in lessons and at home! Keep it up! @HarperGreen

Our Science Clubbers made lava lamps with Mrs Iqbal last night from coloured water, salt and oil. Well done to everyone! @HarperGreen
