Biology Week: Inspiring Curiosity Beyond the Classroom!
During Biology Week, students had the opportunity to extend their interest and enthusiasm for biology through a range of engaging lunchtime activities.
Throughout the week, students discussed local habitats and biodiversity while taking a virtual journey around the world through live-stream wildlife cameras from African game reserves. They also began developing their BioCraft competition entries, tested their observation and recall skills through memory games, and explored the exciting range of careers available in STEM.
The week finished with our highly anticipated Forensic Friday challenge. A crime had been committed... a member of staff's lunch had been stolen! Students became forensic investigators, analysing clues, evaluating evidence, and using their scientific thinking skills to identify the culprit.
It was fantastic to see so many students getting involved, developing their curiosity, problem-solving abilities, and appreciation of the biological sciences.
Well done to everyone who took part!
