The STEM Sailboat Challenge in science! Students are designing, producing and racing boats.. but who has the physics and engineering edge? #ksabmastery @brett_girven @MikeBloy74

A strong purpose drives effort.
Fascinating research showing tests are NOT a motivator to learn - biggest motivator by far is showing people how learning something will help them achieve their goals. @Inner_Drive #motivation #education #oeClosingTheGap

Well-done to our Sixthformers for taking part in the Platinum Pipette Competition at DESC. They all worked fantastically hard and enjoyed the rich experience of being scientists for the day. #ksablife #ksabmastery @MikeBloy74 x.com/KSABScience/status/110…

Our lovely Year 8 students selling the bath bombs they made in science! They collected 270AED in the process. Entrepreneurship and science go hand in hand and is what STEM should be about. #teamscience #ksablife @KSABScience

Using Edtech we were able to see crystal of copper sulphate growing. Students usually follow a method to make copper sulphate crystal. Today we pushed it by producing our own method and explaining copper sulphate crystal growth. #KSABLife #KSABmastery @MikeBloy74 @brett_girven

When setting up circuits Year 7 students were asked about the right setup for a voltmeter - 100% of students voted for the diagram on the left. Which is a common misconception. Addressing this early on means better scientist in the future. #KSABLife @MikeBloy74 @brett_girven
Thank you @birminghamuniversity @Steve_Minchin for a great talk on genetics to extend our scientist. #ksablife @KSABScience @MikeBloy74 @brett_girven

We were reacting alcohol and group 1 alkali metals today in Chemistry. The colour change was incredible but the student explaination was even better. #ksablife @brett_girven @MikeBloy74

Modelling is key to understanding complex concepts in science. Whether it is an explanation in the book or a physical model, student learning is enhanced with models. #KSABLife #KSABEnquiry #ksabmastery

Inorganic Chemistry has always been an area of neglect in the secondary science curriculum so when students get to the A-level they find the concept hard. We spent the whole morning carrying out practicals to reinforce the conceptional understanding of colour chemistry. #KSABLife
