Moorside High School, has just wrapped up an exciting Science Week, with students engaging in a host of hands-on and creative activities both in and out of the classroom.
Throughout the week, students explored captivating scientific topics, from the mysteries of space to the pressing issue of debris in orbit. They designed innovative solutions such as space debris collectors and ocean cleanup devices, and even crafted their own STEM-inspired stories, blending imagination with scientific exploration.
Each day also featured a House Challenge, encouraging teamwork and friendly competition as students earned points for their houses. STEM Club hosted a special session where pupils enjoyed experiments like rainbow fizz reactions and flame tests, observing the brilliant colours produced by different elements.
