Year 13 DP Chemistry students are currently looking at redox reactions. They did a couple of experiments on a microscope slide to see the crystals growing under magnification.
They added copper metal to silver nitrate solution and zinc metal to silver nitrate and copper sulfate solutions. What was seen was the growth of crystals of either silver or copper metal as it was displaced from the solution by the more reactive metal that was added.
The growth of the crystals was visible in real time, and we took some photographs and a timelapse video. It was fascinating to see the reactions happen from a microscopic viewpoint.

[[\media\timelapse2.MOV]]We’re delighted to announce yet another year of exceptional results in the IB Diploma Programme. Congratulations to our outstanding Class of 2025 for their remarkable dedication and achievements.
Last week, Year 6 performed our wonderful musical production for the parents and younger children in school. It was a play called Troy Story - it was about the Greeks and Trojans who were at war and had lots of drama.
As the academic year draws to a close, our Early Years students marked the occasion in the most joyful way possible, with Splash Day, a much-loved BISB tradition that brings together sunshine, water play, and the simple delight of being a child.
