🔬 Year 12 Biology in Action! 🧬
Our Year 12 Biologists have made an excellent start to their course and have already been getting stuck into a fantastic range of practical work!
So far, students have been exploring gas exchange, cells and microscopy. Most recently, they have been preparing blood smear slides using differential staining, before using microscopes to examine the different types of blood cells.
Students have also been learning how to calibrate the eyepiece graticule on their microscopes, allowing them to estimate the size of different cells and produce accurate scientific drawings. 🔬🩸
A fantastic start to their A Level Biology journey!
