Science Department

Today is Miss Walet’s last day so we have marked it with a lovely photo 10B2. It has been a pleasure boys and I will miss your sense of fun and your willingness to take on a challenge!

Demonstrating circular motion with a bucket of water. Everyone stayed dry!

Y12 Physicists were able to join the remote BPhO Annual lecture - The Many Universes of Quantum Materials by Professor Blundell. ( Professor of Physics at Oxford University)

Before the holidays, Years 8 and 9 had the opportunity to enter a Science 🧪 poster competition on the theme of growth, as part of British Science Week. Congratulations 🥇Phoebe 🥈Daksh 🥉Harry and Aurora! #Wearenewhall #britishscienceweek22 #growth #Science #Year8 #Year9

Congratulations 🎉 to our Chemistry Olympiad cohort. The paper was a particularly challenging one, but our Year 12 students showed resilience and tenacity achieve two silver certificates🥈and 4 bronze certificates 🥉. Well done to all who challenged themselves by taking part!

Thank you to Dr Thomas for this evening’s fascinating lecture on the development of Astrophysics. There was toilet paper, spinning year 7s, fancy dress and gun cotton, and we loved it! #britishscienceweek #wearenewhall #britishscienceweek2022 #astronomy #astrophysics

Want to find out more about how our understanding of the universe has grown? 🚀 Make sure you plan to attend the annual science lecture, this year by Dr Thomas, 4:15 till 5:15. All are welcome! #britishscienceweek #wearenewhall #britishscienceweek2022 #astronomy #astrophysics

Watch this space for British Science week!🧪 11-20 March. We have some exciting things planned.

Merry Christmas from the science department #wearenewhall #teamscience

Here is our winning #Chemistree from our internal Year 12 competition. The tree is made of lab equipment and recycled Christmas decorations and represents the structure of DNA. #ochemistree @DrJohnODonoghue

Christmas has come in the Chemistry Department! Year 10 have been using analytical chemistry to find the biscuit mix, Year 7 have been making chromatography baubles and Year 12 have been making Chemistrees. Follow the chemistry Instagram for more info instagram.com/newhallchem/

Today is the @RoySocChem Mastermind challenge. Students are competing with other local schools online. We have been so impressed with the resilience shown by all of our Masterminds! Well done team!

We've put up a new display for #BlackHistoryMonthUK in the Faraday corridor. Come and be inspired!

Happy Summer Holidays from the Science Department! ☀️🧪🥼🧬☀️

Year 12 have been doing some redox titrations (and enjoying the pretty colours)

We have just received our certificates for the Cambridge Chemistry Challenge @C3L6. We are so proud of the intellectual courage shown by every student who took part! Congratulations go to the 4 students who achieved Silver certificates and the 3 students who achieved Copper.
