Our Adopted Scientists

Posted by Mr Mallon on September 20, 2010

My first year class were given a task to adopt a famous scientist at the beginning of the session.
They were told to collect some information, write it out themselves and make a podcast to share with students around the world.

Click on the picture below to hear their speeches.
A big thing about being a scientist is that you need to communicate.

Mobile Phone Pictures of Cells

Posted by Mr Mallon on September 5, 2010

Mr Mallon`s second year science class used their mobile phones to take pictures of cells.
Using their magnifying capability we examined the cells in detail and discovered each cell has a nucleus.
Andrew Jackson brought in some pond water which was teaming with microscopic life. Check out the amazing picture of a midge larvae captured in class. Awesome picture.

Thanks to Andrew Jackson for providing the pond water.

PS Mobile phones in class can be a powerful tool when used appropriately, well done S2.
