Today the S3 chemistry pupils were investigating the properties of polymers 🥼🧪 We investigated the effect of cross-linking, making stretchy slime, bouncy slime and fluffy slime! Lots of fun learning on spooky Friday! @bonessacademy.bsky.social @ba-science.bsky.social

Today we were learning about embryo development. Pupils created timelines showing how a baby grows during pregnancy - using materials in the lab to model the changing size each month! @ba-science.bsky.social

We have been learning about cells and reproduction in science! Here are some exCELLent plant and animal cells from the very talented 1st year pupils 🔬🧬🥼

STEM CLUB 🥼🥽 We've been busy in STEM club over the last few weeks, trying out different experiments.. On Tuesdays, we've made slime, elephants toothpaste, and density columns (with varying levels of success). Here's a throwback to Slime Tuesday 😀

Nothing like a bit of colour to kick off our new chemistry topic!🌈 Senior students proudly showing off their very own pH scales after careful dilution of acids and alkalis! 🧪🧪 @bonessacademy.bsky.social @ba-science.bsky.social

Amazing workshop delivered by scientists Simson and Lewis from Temuro Aortic today, talking to our science pupils about synthetic heart valves and careers in biotechnology 🫀🥽 @bonessacademy.bsky.social

📣We've published our 2026 exam timetable. 🗓️Exams will run from 22 April to 2 June, and Results Day will be Tuesday 4 August. Take a look at the full timetable: info.sqa.org.uk/3KF85Kn #SQAexams

🥳🥳STEM club is moving!🥳🥳 GOOD NEWS! You can now sandwich AND science! Junior STEM club will now be on Tuesday lunch instead of after-school! I hope that you can join me then for all things STEM 🧪🧫🧬🔬 @bonessacademy.bsky.social @ba-science.bsky.social

A colourful lesson with nat 5 on ionic bonding 🌈 We used skittles as electrons to model ionic bonding! Their electron diagrams were a treat! 🍬

S1 were busy today setting some pitfall traps in the woods! They made use of the natural and not so natural environment (🍜) around them to create some inventive traps! Stay tuned to see what wonderful beasties we uncover! 🪱🪰🦟🕷

First heart dissection with S2 (and ever) today ! 🫀🫀 I was the surgeon. The pupils were on hand to guide me through. Team effort + video guide = success! Chambers,valves, and vessels revealed! The perfect pre-lunch lesson 🩺🩻🧬 @bonessacademy.bsky.social @ba-science.bsky.social

🧪🧫 ANNOUNCEMENT!! 🔬🧬 STEM club incoming! Pop along on Fridays to investigate all things STEM!

🚧🚧Construction underway🚧🚧 How much weight do you think a bridge made from spaghetti can hold? 🌉 Continuing with our spaghetti bridge challenge today. Some promising designs in progress by our S1 students. @bonessacademy.bsky.social @ba-science.bsky.social

Learning all about isotopes in 3D! Play-Doh electron dot diagrams! Nat 5 chemistry meets art ⚛️✨ @bonessacademy.bsky.social @bascience.bsky.social
