Fantastic first Biology Week activity of double helix models of DNA made of sweets made by Year 7 and 8 NWC students #Biologyweek #creativelearning

Charlie has changed colour and is looking a paler pink than her usual vibrant orange. She is about to shed her skin and grow a new one! #Charliethecornsnake

Great job team Honduras for completing the 12 Bridges London Bridge Wellness Walk💪🏼#nwc #TeamHonduras

@FSCAmersham Thankyou @FSCAmersham - Northwood College Year 13 Biologists had a fab day developing their ecology and statistical analysis skills #Biology

Great work from Northwood College AL Biologists today studying biodiversity in the woods @NWC_STEM #outdoorclassroom #ecology

What a day hosting the inaugural @GDST Science TeachMeet! @NorthwoodGDST Bringing together Science teachers, @theASE, @RSC_EiC, @ClassVR, @twin_science 🎉🩻🧪🧬👩‍💻👩‍🔬Thank you to everyone involved!

A wonderful day in the world of plants, Year 9 studied plant adaptations to different biomes from across the world @kewgardens 🌎 🌱 📖 @NorthwoodGDST @NWC_ECO #wheregirlslearnwithoutlimits

Discovering careers associated with #healthcare including optometry 👁️ and surgery 👩‍⚕️ as part of Y8 STEM careers day @NorthwoodGDST @NWC_Careers

Great fun in Y8 STEM careers day looking at practical urine tests to diagnose disease and identify suspects #chemists #biomedicalscience #forensicscience 🧪 🏥 🕵️‍♀️ @NWC_Careers @NorthwoodGDST

Y8 STEM careers day and this time we’re learning about #architecture and being an #engineer building bridges 🌉 👷‍♀️ @NorthwoodGDST @NWC_Careers

Year 8 STEM careers day in full swing today with our brain tingling #psychologyandneuroscience session 🧠 🔬 💭 @NorthwoodGDST @NWC_Careers

Lots of fantastic investigation going on in our Science department today, from Force Diagrams in Physics to Making Salts in Chemistry ⚛️ 🧪👩‍🔬 #WomenInSTEM @NorthwoodGDST #wheregirlslearnwithoutlimits

What a great day with Year 13 completing the @Amgen @ABEProgOffice programme 👩‍🔬 🧬 🦠 🧫 @NorthwoodGDST #wheregirlslearnwithoutlimits

Our Y13 biologists are now adept at loading gels and confident in analysing gel electrophoresis outcomes. Well done 👏🏼 @ABEProgOffice, thank you for the kit loan 🧬 #WomenInSTEM @NorthwoodGDST

Focus, fun and fine detail while working in biotechnology. Our biologists were impressive today showing undergraduate level technique @ABEProgOffice @Amgen @NorthwoodGDST #biotechnology #WhereGirlsLearnWithoutLimits 🧬🦠🧫💉💊

Learning how to do PCR using a hands on approach today with @ABEProgOffice - such an important skill moving forward with their careers 🧬 #WomenInSTEM @NorthwoodGDST

More high-level Biology today with Year 12 completing restriction digests of DNA from 5 different organisms and creating profiles using electrophoresis to compare them 🧬 👩‍🔬 @NorthwoodGDST Thanks to @Amgen @STEM_UH @ABEProgOffice for the resources #WomenInSTEM #biotech

Year 13 biologists 👩‍🔬 inoculating agar plates using a lawn culture technique to investigate bacterial growth in response to a range of antibiotics 🧫 🦠 @NorthwoodGDST #microbiology #WomenInSTEM

Final day of #BritishScienceWeek2023 saw #connections by different forms of telephone, exploring the physics behind these methods 📞 and a form picture quiz on diversity in Science and key vocabulary 👁️ @NorthwoodGDST thank you everyone for taking park this week 👏🏼

@NWC_DFO @NWC_Economics @NWC_Classics @NWC_Innovation @NorthwoodGDST Is a 3 week project, pop by same time next week!

@NWC_Economics @NWC_STEM @NWC_Classics @NWC_Innovation @NorthwoodGDST How on earth did miss this?!

Extend lesson: Scientific investigation of what makes the best biscuit @NWC_STEM #OurTeachersWow @NWC_Classics @NWC_Innovation @NorthwoodGDST

Day 4 of #BritishScienceWeek2023 saw an engineering challenge in the form of #connecting different levels of pipes to form a marble run in 30 mins. Everyone working together, from Y7-11, had a ‘ball’ 🏐 🚧🎢🏗️ @NorthwoodGDST #WomenInSTEM23 #WhereGirlsLearnWithoutLimits
