Bearsden Geography

Congratulations to last year's S1 cohort for achieving the Discovery @JohnMuirTrust Award in Geography. A massive thank you to our Ambassadors for helping with the catering.

Adv H It has been a great start to our trip to Millport with Biology and Chemistry. Yesterday we looked at the sampling technique mark, release, and recapture. Today we conducted a soil analysis and used the titration method for water analysis. 🥾🌎

It was great to see young pupil so enthusiastic about the various Geography related activities. Thanks to Miss McCulloch for organising this (and the snacks).

Pupils in S1 have been exploring the outdoors and using leaves and rocks to create art work as part of the John Muir Award.

@geogbearsden @FSC_Millport Great experience for our pupils. And I hear it stayed dry! In November! In Scotland! ☀️🏝

Thank you to @FSC_Millport for a fabulous few days. Highlights include conducting a beach/soil analysis, learning from our Adv H Chem and Bio peers, and getting to see the aquarium 🌊🌎🍃

A brilliant first day at FSC Millport with @BearsdenBiology and @geogbearsden. Blown away by our pupils’ enthusiasm and engagement in all the sampling tasks today. Absolute stars.

Our Adv H Biologists, Chemists, and Geographers have made it to Largs. Looking forward to the next few days 🥾🌎🦇 @BearsdenBiology @BearsdenAcadem1 @FSC_Millport

Pupils in Mr McCallum's S1 classes have been using their atlas skills to plan tour routes for their favourite pop stars this summer. #geography

Today the focus of our field work was the impact of tourism on Millport. Our pupils still had time for a photo opportunity at crocodile rock. #advancedhighergeography #outdoorlearning @BoclairAcademy @FSC_Millport

Our pupils did not let a bit of rain stop them from collecting their data. @BoclairAcademy @FSC_Millport #advancedhighergeography #outdoorlearning
