The term ‘model’ features heavily throughout the new Senior Cycle Science specifications, so today our 5th Year Biology students put this into practice by creating physical models of the stages of the Cell cycle and the DNA double helix! 🧬
Peer assessment was also incorporated into the activities, with students evaluating and scoring each other’s models. A creative and interactive way to reinforce their understanding while preparing for their November assessments next week!
Meanwhile, our 2nd Year Science students, having recently completed their Chemical Reactions chapter, brought the chemistry to life with the spectacular Elephant’s Toothpaste experiment! 🐘🧪
This demonstrated the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, producing an impressive eruption! ✨
