They have arrived! Here is one of the first photographs sent from the groups first day in Sweden - the rest of them will be uploaded to the photo gallery (click on the gallery link to view) - keep checking back - they have promised to send regular updates!
Mr Manns and Mrs Carter are taking 11 Year 9 pupils to Kunskapsskolan in Sweden in June. Our pupils are currently completing an Environmental project which they will present to peers in Sweden when we join up to work with pupils from Mortimer College and will commence a collaborative project on Global warming and rising sea levels in Sweden.
Here is an explanation and animation of the solar system and the planets. Use this to help you revise the topic or just top up on your science skills. Also, look our for the podcast that's coming soon, as this may also help you in the future!

My animation is about different types of science equations that are helpful for science lessons and exams. In the animation the equations come out of a test tube to give it a science feel and to relate to the subject. My animation can help pupils learn science in a better and more fun way.
The animation was created to explain the concept of photosynthesis for revision purposes. It was designed for the year nine exams. It explains the process and the results with labelled diagrams.

This animation was created to explain the parts of cells and explain what they do the end of the animation is a little fast and hard to understand so here is the text at the end of the animation

Mr Overend has entered a team into this years Salter's Festival of Chemistry Quiz held at Newcastle University and we look forward to topping our latest effort of coming second out of 20 local Schools.
Mr Manns and Mr Carlton have started the "Sun Worshiper - No respecter" project that won a grant (of £2000) form the Royal Society of Chemistry with our top set Year 9s. The pupils will be awarded a Bronze Crest Award. This is an externally awarded achievement in recognition of their commitment to Science during the project.
