This immersive experience allowed students to step into the role of real investigators, exploring a staged crime scene, collecting evidence and analysing clues to solve a complex mystery. The event gave students a valuable opportunity […]
Y13 Biology Investigations
Y13 Biology students have been busy planning and carrying out their own investigations into how different factors affect the rate of respiration in yeast. This hands-on work allows students to apply their scientific knowledge while developing practical skills such as designing experiments, controlling variables, collecting and analysing data, and drawing valid conclusions. These investigations form […]
