Year 9 Demonstration

9WT witnessed a dramatic chemical reaction during their science lesson on Tuesday. Mr Martin demonstrated the formation of a compound by making a salt (sodium chloride) from a metal (sodium) and a gas (chlorine) during his elements and compounds topic.

Year 10 in the Lab

The photo shows Mr French with his Year 10 students, who were testing for gases produced when acids react . They used several different, unique tests to detect gases hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The students learnt that the result of the tests would determine which gas was present, for example, a squeaky pop sound indicated hydrogen to be the final product.

In Dr North's year 10 classes (pictured 10WY) , they have been investigating density with regular and irregular objects. The students got to grips with a variety of equipment , which included using a vernier calliper. "
