Today #Year9 were challenged to put their knowledge of #distillation to the test. Students were asked to distill pure water from ink. They chose equipment to set up a simplified #still and triumphed. Well done all. @SibfordOxon #SibfordScience #KS3 #practicalwork #Chemistry

Our #Year10 students have been learning about #DNA extraction this week. Did you know you can extract DNA from strawberries by using salt, water, washing up liquid and ice cold methanol? Aren’t the results fantastic! @SibfordOxon #SibfordScience #KS4 #Biology #practicalwork
