Science@Thomas Alleyne Academy

And that’s a wrap! Another fabulous year ends @Thomas_Alleynes . Looking forward to a nice long rest before we do it all again in September #summerholidays #EndOfTerm

Just reviewing our requisitions for the last year on @LabLogger_Sci Chemistry have just made the winners step this year! The challenge is on for next year… but can we submit on time please!

Another successful transformation assay by our soon to be year 12 biologists as they complete the ABE programme with @ABEProgOffice #STEMUoH #Biotech #amgen #futurescientists

Brilliant to see posters up at @TAAsciencedept as part of our @royalsociety funded Barcoding for Beginners project! 🦋🪰🐞🔎🥼🔬 Read about this unique opportunity and how to get involved: wellcomeconnectingscience.org/project/barcod… #genomics #Barcoding #science #biology

So pleased to hang up the posters our 6th form DNA barcoders produced. Big thanks to @engageWCS for printing these for us. Looking forward to our barcoding community day tomorrow! #DNA #futurescientists

Banner up at @Thomas_Alleynes - the home of our new Stevenage ITT Hub!🥳

We are very excited that Jessie (our friendly wood pigeon) has hatched 2 little babies…. Second brood this year…..

Year 12 STEM students @Thomas_Alleynes are visiting @uniofbeds today for a Bioscience conference #futurescientists #bioscience

Science club looked at the role of a dental technician this afternoon and had a go at modelling teeth from beeswax and inserting them into a lower jaw,complete with gums @STEMClubsJo @technicians_mih #STEMClubs #technicians

Lovely spot, Marshall point 2 for @AlleynePe fun run. Watching the red kites & listening to the jackdaws while waiting for the runners to stream past! #funrun #summertime

This afternoon our science club explored the role of Countryside ranger - recording the biodiversity on part of our school grounds @STEMLearningUK @STEMClubsJo #techniciansmakethedifference

Today some of our year 7 students have trialled a new microscale enzyme practical. It was a great success #SSERC #biology #scientistsofthefuture

Our science club @Thomas_Alleynes are busy honing their microbiology techniques. So far they have looked at the effectiveness of handwashing on bacterial growth and taken some swabs from around our school site #STEMClubs #biology #microbes

A fantastic turn out for Science revision from our Y11’s in preparation for their exams! A truly determined group of individuals - well done to them!

Great work by our Future Engineers Academy who joined the litter pick for this weeks teams challenge….

And what a fabulous day we had!

Busy night @Thomas_Alleynes science club today…. Lots of lovely antiseptic ointment made #STEMClubs

We had a great time at science club @Thomas_Alleynes this afternoon using our medical kit from @MedicMavericks. We listened to our heart sounds & tested our reflexes #BritishScienceWeek #academypass #STEMClubs

Little Valentine’s Day sampling session for the year 12 environmental scientists @Thomas_Alleynes #pondlife #ValentinesDay

Science Club @Thomas_Alleynes have started building their earthquake-proof structures as part of their “save the world with STEM” project…. Some interesting designs emerging to fulfill the brief #STEMClubs #Engineering
