L5th physicists visited @WoolsthorpeNT today for a day of Isaac Newton inspired physics.
Our rocket scientists have been using our 3D printer to rapid prototype a thrust vectoring system for a re-usable model space rocket to launch on the Middle later this year.
STEM club lowered the freezing point of water today - using salt. Since melting is an endothermic physical change, lowering the freezing point melts the ice - and the only energy around to do this comes from the cream. The result - Ice cream for everybody!
The science department weather station has officially recorded the hottest day of the year.... 31.7°
Though this is the hottest September day on our records, it does not beat the all-time record of 38.8° set last July.
Science is pleased to welcome our newest teacher Mrs Robinson. A botanist by trade, Mrs Robinson will be bringing her love of plant biology to all of her classes. 🌴🌵🌾🌱🌻
We are very pleased that our own Dr Boyce has accepted the @RoyalAstroSoc Secondary Education Award - albeit remotely as he supports the Gold @DofE Expedition.

I am very pleased to accept the @RoyalAstroSoc Secondary Education Award. I can't be there to collect it in person as I am currently on a mountain top in Scotland #GoldDofE - so this video has been broadcast instead.
As @Upp_Science closes for the summer, we leave you with these colourful artworks, made from colonies of bacteria growing in our petri dishes. #ForTheVisionaries
A first for @upp_science weather station - it just got struck by lightning! ⚡️⚡️ The power surged, but it just made science more powerful. #ForTheSkywatchers
Our biologists have taken their samples and have now moved into the identification and categorization part of the field study. #ForTheInquisitive #UppinghamBiology #UppinghamL6th
Our L6th Biologists are in the river for their A level field work. #UppinghamL6th #UppinghamBiology #ForThePathfinders
Thinking about balancing forces in physics today as our 4th form physicists get a taste of what they will learn next year. #ForTheInquisitive #Uppingham4thForm
Three of our physicists are enjoying lunch in the Palace of Westminster today, at the All Party Parliamentary Group. Discussions will be with industrial experts on the engineering of offshore wind. Many thanks to our host, the Most Honourable The Lord Mair. #ForTheVisionaries
Great news for our robotics club as our pupil-led 3D printed robotic arm makes its first movements. #ForThePioneers
Frustration leads to success. Our pupils have printed all of the parts and programmed the arduino computer to make this work themselves.
Happy #EarthDay2023 from @Upp_Science - here an image of our planet taken from the edge of space by Dr Boyce and pupils.
Uppingham's answer to @SpaceX - STEM Club! Launching rockets on the Leicester today. #ForThePioneers
