Second year scientists leaning about physics outdoors. Burning leaves with lenses and launching water rockets.

Thanks to Luca from Mears for showing the third year vocational scientists round the school boiler room. We used infra red cameras to identify heat spots and where energy was being ‘lost’.

Senior physics wall displays. Well researched and attractively presented displays on particle accelerators by fifth year physicists.

Local nuclear fusion scientist Uron gave a talk to all 3 higher physics classes on the inter nations fusion project ITER A very well pitched presentation and good revision of many topics in higher physics.

Excellent homework labelled diagrams by scientists in 1R

Twenty Millburn Girls 'doing' Science at WASPS Creative Academy with @skillsdevscot , @SAMSoceannews and @SSASTEM Thanks to Mrs Wall and Mrs Mullen for taking these young female scientists.

And first year scientists learning about the structure of the eye.

Heart and eye dissections in science classes. Firstly fourth year biology learning about the chambers and valves of the heart.

Science club mixing up pH rainbows with Miss Ratti

Flower dissection by third year biologists with Savannah and Abby doing a wonderful job at presentation.

End of term learning in science part 2. Lava lamps for first years and combustion of renewable fuels for N5 chemistry

End of term learning in science part 1. Catapult projectiles in higher physics and test different fruits for sugar in S1 science.

Higher Chemists made bars of soap with additives such as lemon and thyme. They also wrote up a "fact-sheet" - amazing work from our seniors!

Very stimulating discussions on the future of Scottish science education 3-18 at Education Scotland curriculum improvement cycle #sciencescic see padlet : padlet.com/margaretcraw/s…

Some very creative model cells by 1P this morning. Materials included coloured paper and “junk” prime for recycling!

Halloween inspired science club Alginate worms ably demonstrated by science prefects. However Miss Stirling’s exploding pumpkin failed to explode😭

Last period of term in science with all classes fully engaged in learning but usually with a “fun” twist. Choice chambers with woodlice for S1 and S6 but the AH class built the chambers from Lego (thanks Mrs Oates).Blooket online quiz games and first year solving revision puzzles

Fourth year chemistry students learning titration skills.

Science club looking at daphnia under microscopes

S2 Pupil Hubert wrote and read out this poem to the class as his submission for "Science Reporter of the week"
