I set up an @AliceElwell-inspired mutations dinner party for my Year 12s. Three courses, paper plates, some minimal decorations (and a fair bit of printing and prep), they all leaned in, to the point where the dinner analogy got a tad convoluted… pic.twitter.com/UMpBRzDiSW

Yr 8 Science design challenge 1: marble run. An hour and a half working time over two lessons, I was thoroughly impressed 👏🏼👏🏼 1m drop, 3 attachment points, paper and sticky tape only. Solely to assess their ability to write a risk assessment 😆 pic.twitter.com/CyiiINz73L

Year 8s had their first crack at giving peer feedback on their Science assignments and I definitely underestimated them. Constructive comments, in-depth reading of peers' work, supportive conversations and great reflections at the pros / cons of the task. Colour me impressed 😊 pic.twitter.com/bI7K6O1AfY

Yr 11 Biology got hands-on with some mealworms today for capture-mark-recapture and the Lincoln Index to estimate population size. Worth the night-before living room prep counting the suckers out… #Biology #QCAABiology #ecology pic.twitter.com/n84hx23X07

Year 12 going down the rabbit hole of modelling processes with anything in my craft bag. Never too old for play dough stages of mitosis. Some made a stop-motion video, some made annotated posters. All I know is my bag of lolly snakes is gone but I saw none on a model… #Biology pic.twitter.com/KFbp2D3Jjp

Year 12 stepped into the nucleus for DNA replication today. I'm still trying to find new ways to model processes which are so conceptual, but this worked a treat and everyone got in on the action #Biology #Genetics #DNAreplication pic.twitter.com/NavEJWR5cM
