As we embark on the second term at Britannica, students are actively immersed in enriching educational experiences.

Year 6 and Year 8 students for their dedicated efforts in exploring the fascinating realm of Light in their Science lessons. Studying light and reflection in physics is vital for practical applications in our daily lives. Delving into the physics of light and reflection is pivotal for real-world applications in devices like cameras and microscopes. Practical work investigating the law of reflection using ray boxes provides invaluable hands-on experience. This knowledge not only enhances our understanding of modern technology but also nurtures the future scientists and engineers who will drive innovation.

The focus of lesson in Year 7 has been forces. Studying forces in physics is essential for understanding how things work in the real world. Learning about different forces, analysing their combinations, and using tools like Newton meters are key aspects of this exploration. This knowledge is practical and directly applicable, especially in designing safe and stable structures like buildings and vehicles.

In Year 9 and Year 10, the focus has been on all thing’s energy. Studying energy stores in physics is crucial for understanding how we power the world around us. Students explore different energy sources, including renewables, and learn how electricity is generated in power plants. A big well done to our students who crafted and delivered presentations exploring the advantages and disadvantages of fossil fuels and renewables. Studying energy stores not only equips students with scientific insights but also enables them to actively engage in shaping cleaner and more efficient energy landscapes.
