British Science Week is officially at Compton

To start the celebrations for Science week, Year 7 students and their parents were invited to take part in a science practical session: Heart Dissections.

It was a popular event, which turned out to be very successful. As part of the session, parents experienced what our year 7 lesson looks like. At the end of the session, Parents completed a mock tweet of the session.

Please see the below mock tweets by the Year 7 Parents:

''It was great fun way to learn. It was also great to learn with my child''

''I learnt about the importance of the heart and the different parts of it. Cutting it also helped me to see the parts and the functions to the body. Overall, it was a very informative session, and I enjoyed the whole exercise''

''It was great to learn about the inner workings of the heart. Quite astonishing that the tendons in the heart are so strong #strongheart''

''Absolutely fantastic, fascinating practical heart dissection session. Learnt all about how the heart works. Wonderful teachers and sixth formers ''

Students were also treated to 'fun' practical sessions to celebrate Science Week. Please see images below on making slime and elephant toothpaste!

Huge thanks to our wonderful Sixth form students: Eric, Jessica and Jacey for their support with the event.''
