Well done to Sophie for making an excellent start to the Y9 Triple Science Biology Transition work!

Yesterday's tweet on homopolar motors relates to the fascinating discovery between electricity and magnetism. When a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it moves! This effect is how any mechanical device e.g. a washing machine rotates youtube.com/watch?v=LcyqJWvZ…

Congratulations to Year 8 student Thomas on his homemade homopolar motor! 🔋

#OceanDay on Earth, which has its own magnetic field, with North and South poles - this protects us from harmful solar and cosmic radiation. Oceans seabed patterns have taught us that the Earth's magnetic field swaps its poles every few million years😱See below!

We hope that our Year 10 and Year 12 students have found their Science online Learning Review sessions this week beneficial, as much as the teachers have found them enjoyable. We miss our young scientists in the school labs! #learningfromhome #Science

The Science Department here at Thorpe St Andrew School and Sixth Form are beyond excited for the 'launch' of our Twitter page! We hope all of our students and fellow teaching staff are taking the best of care! #FirstTweet #Science
