This week, Year 9, started their first unit of the year by looking at the reactivity of some different metals with hydrochloric acid.
They compared not only a variety of metals but also if they acted differently when powdered or in larger pieces. They learned about how to test for hydrogen – the gas evolved if the metals do react. All students acted in a safe manner and attained some great results.

Following the postponement of Journey’s End before Christmas, we are pleased to announce the new dates.
Year 9 have been showing their green fingers/thumbs by trying to germinate cress seeds under various conditions, to see what is important for the seed growth.
There was more basketball on Saturday. This time our U14 Girls A and B teams had their DVAC Festival here at BISB.
