Year 12 Biology students have been sharing some thoughts/research on #Growth. Charlotte has been looking into why some cats have thumbs! It's related to expression of the Sonic Hedgehog gene which can lead to polydactyly (an abnormal number of toes) #BritishScienceWeek2022 #BSW22

Tutor groups across @RiddlesdownC have been discussing these #SmashingStereotypes stories in tutor time this week. The full thread can be seen here:

Last year, the @titiricigroup at Imperial College made this amazing video to show our students their innovative work for #BSW22. We'll be showing it again during our Careers in Science lessons this week because it's such a masterpiece! youtube.com/watch?v=9wY_z4x1…

#BSW22 Day 3 and Mr Sach put on a Chemistry extravaganza for the STEAM Club! Featuring hydrogen balloons and chip pan fireballs... Listen for the screams at the end 😎💥

#BSW22 continues! Keeping with the theme of Growth, our KS3 classes have been trying to grow crystals. 7XC asked if they could name their crystals - here is one they named 'Naughty Bean' 😄 @RiddlesdownC @ScienceWeekUK

Today is also Pi Day (3/14) and the Maths team have been busy counting up the results of the Pi Bee. A few students in Pegasus and Phoenix have beaten 50 digits! @RiddlesdownC

#BSW22 has landed at @RiddlesdownC! Look out for careers talks, enrichment lessons and bigger and better STEAM Clubs this week. We also have a great selection of Science related books in the Library 🧬🔭🧪 @ScienceWeekUK @LibraryRc

Spotted in @HornimanMuseum in Dulwich - fossils all the way from Riddlesdown and Kenley! I wonder if any of our students have ever found fossils on the Common? #naturalhistory

Spotted in the Science department @RiddlesdownC this week 📸 Year 13 Chemistry students preparing a rainbow fizz for Open Evening, Jake in Year 8 helping a hungry bumblebee and a new Women in STEAM display by Mr Sach and Mrs Dey! 👩‍🔬

This British Science Week, several organisations have supported us by providing videos about careers in Science & Innovation. We are so grateful to the @titiricigroup at @imperialcollege who made this video especially for us! youtu.be/9wY_z4x1X0g #BSW21 #sustainable 🌳🥼

Kitchen Chemistry! 🧪🧼 Today on the Virtual STEAM Noticeboard, Mr Sach shows you how to make your own bath bombs. Could be a lovely gift for Mother's Day! #BSW21

All set up and ready to go for our second @ICR_London careers talk of the week - this time Beshara (PhD student) will be talking to A Level Biology, Chemistry and Maths students #NCW2021 #BSW21 #STEM

Nearly 60 students attended our virtual careers talk with Denisa from the @ICR_London today. We were so impressed with students' professionalism and their insightful questions about life as a scientist - you've done us all proud! #BSW21 #STEM #NationalCareersWeek @RiddlesdownC

British Science Week has launched a few days early at @RiddlesdownC! Tomorrow afternoon, lucky KS3 students will meet with Denisa, a bioinformatician at @ICR_London to find out about life as a scientist! See the STEAM Noticeboard or send a DM for more information 🔬🧬 #BSW21

British Science Week is coming up and our Y7 and Y8 students will be celebrating this over the next TWO weeks! We've been working with @ICR_London, @TheCrick and other organisations to showcase what 'Innovating for the Future' looks like - watch this space 😎🧪📡 #BSW21
