Last week was full on with practical work for our Y13 Chemists; a titrimetric analysis of the kinetics of an iodine & propanone reaction as well as the recrystallisation of 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine. Really impressive work.💜 #TeamChemistry #OrielScience #PracticalSkills

Y12 Biology: 2days: One counting 400 daisies in a field, & the other trying not to make eye contact with a locust. Well actually our biologists were investigating the gas exchange system of an insect by locust dissection 🔬🦗🌾🦗 #CorePracticals #OrielScience #TeamBiology
