Y12 civil engineering on the coastline...with play-doh

Y12s are doing the civil engineering part of their studies this lesson....looking at management strategies using playdoh!

Yr12 permeability experiments

As part of our water resources learning, yr12 are doing permeability experiments with sand and gravel....which allows water to pass through more quickly?

Phase diagram experiments

The Y13s were trying out a phase diagram experiment in Thursday's lesson using salol and thymol. The results are proving rather interesting and everyone came out smelling strongly of thyme!

Y13 Geology experiments

Y13 have planned their experiments and are starting to conduct  them....with three different experiments going on this afternoon involving sand, glycerol, and golden syrup (sadly not edible afterwards!)



Phil timing how long it takes for different temperature syrup to move down a slope



Dr Riley advising Tom on his sand experiment



Jon measuring the velocity of a calcite crystal through glycerol
