Chemistry at Work
Six of our new S2 pupils recently took part in a Chemistry at Work event in the Chemistry Department at Glasgow University. The event highlighted that a chemistry degree opens up many career opportunities, not just careers in a laboratory. The pupils really enjoyed hearing from two young people who are about to graduate with degrees in chemistry, and are going onto work for the Civil Service and in Science Journalism. The pupils then spent some time carrying out experiments in one of the laboratories. Thanks to Mrs Robertson and John MacLeod, our youth worker, for accompanying the pupils. Thanks also to the Royal Society of Chemistry and Glasgow University for organising the event.
History of Atomic Structure Project
Kenny Thomas, 3K, has recently completed an amazing history of atomic structure project which is now on display in the science corridor. The project outlines the development of theories about the structure of an atom, from the time of the Greek Philosophers right up to modern day discoveries in particle accelerators. Kenny has spent a lot of hours putting his knowledge onto paper, including many lunchtimes. Well done.
Lost Property
We have a large selection of lost property held in the school office that has no names written on them. If you recognise anything from the photos below, please come to the school office to reclaim it ASAP. Anything not claimed after next Friday will be sent to a local charity shop.
