Hampton’s annual Independent/State Schools Partnership (ISSP) Science Day welcomed 45 Year 9 pupils from four local partner schools to participate in a range of exciting and interactive experiments.
The partnership event provided pupils from Hampton High, Orleans Park School, Teddington School and Tolworth Girls’ School, alongside Lady Eleanor Holles and Hampton School pupils, with a fun and informative opportunity to learn about Biology, Chemistry and Physics. The day offered an insight into new topics, encouraging pupils to explore Science beyond the curriculum.
The aspiring scientists took part in a Chemistry lesson investigating energy changes in chemical reactions, in Biology they examined the effect of pH on digestive enzymes and in Physics they constructed hot air balloons to explore the concept of upthrust.
Mr James Ferrier, who co-ordinates the ISSP initiative at Hampton School, was delighted to welcome the budding scientists to the annual event:
Back to All ArticlesSeeing so many talented pupils from our Partner Schools collaborating on a variety of exciting science experiments was fantastic! I was particularly impressed with the quality of work on show, and I hope that the young scientists enjoyed tackling the challenging activities.
