Thanks to @UniWestScotland for inviting our students along to the zoology conference today. We loved hearing the 4th year students talks, the opportunity to network with a variety of organisations and our tour of the facilities. @OLHSMDYW @OLHSMotherwell

S2 pupils were excited to take part in a company visit to Viridor as part of their bronze industrial cadets project led by Miss Sweeney!

The higher/advanced higher chemists had a visit from Medicinal chemist Laura Bain from @bioascent 🧪👩‍🔬 thanks again! Such a good experience for our future scientists @OLHSMDYW

Spot the difference! Mrs McGuire and Miss Sweeney have maybe spent too much time together recently 😂👀

Mrs McGuire's S2 classes spent today learning about Alice Ball, an African American chemist who found the most effective treatment for leprosy. We had some fantastic discussions on her work and got involved in carrying out our own chemical reactions @OLHSSocSubjects #BHM2023

Some more of our amazing STEM leaders preparing to welcome our next cohort of primary 7s into the Science department on Tuesday!

Extremely proud of our STEM leaders and I hope you enjoyed this afternoon as much as we did! For those pupils who weren't able to attend this afternoon's session and still want to be involved, there will be a catch up session on tuesday after school! @OLHSMotherwell

What an absolutely fantastic afternoon we've had in Science. Our senior pupils volunteered their time to learn some experiments which we will be rolling out to our P7 pupils from @StBrendansPS @BernadettesPS @OlgaPrimary ! We can't wait to get started! @OLHSMotherwell

The standard is HIGH with our S3 Biology classes model cells this year. S3 consolidated their knowledge of animal, plant, bacterial and fungal cell organelles by creating these models as a home learning task! Well done everyone 🔬

What a great morning we have had with the @OLHSMotherwell team!

Mrs McGuire and Miss Greenhill's boys are back; a full year of growing between these two photos! The Science young team took on the 6k today to raise funds for St Andrew's Hospice!

Miss Sweeney's S3 biologists have been learning about diffusion using skittles!

We welcomed Dr Richard Thacker from @UniWestScotland into the department this morning to speak to our senior school Science pupils about the variety of Science courses on offer at UWS.

Mrs McGuire's 3rd year biology completed their "chilli challenge" today using playdoh to consolidate learning about cell structure!

Miss Greenhills s3 chemistry class mastering the art of spaghetti towers 🗼 while working in teams 👏 welcome back chemists! 👩‍🔬 👨‍🔬 💜

The Science faculty needs you 🫵 We are recruiting for our new science leadership programme and are on the hunt for S6 subject ambassadors as well as S5/6 young stem leaders! See Mrs McGuire or Miss Greenhill for more info and an application form! @OLHSMotherwell

We can't wait to welcome our Young People back into the Science faculty today! Extending a particular welcome to our new S1 cohort- we can't wait to get to know you all! We've got some exciting new opportunities coming in the Science department- get invovled 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬
