All of this and more vanished from my head after my first day at ISN!My new peers instantly and eagerly welcomed me. The students are open-minded, principled as well as caring. I wasn’t afraid to ask for a pencil or an eras...

Y9 conducted the ‘elephant toothpaste’ investigation, which explored their understanding of exothermic and endothermic investigations. In a separate Science session, they applied their knowledge of reversible reactions to an investigation involving copper (II) sulphate. Learning Partners added water to anhydrous copper (II) sulphate to make hydrous copper (II) sulphate. They then converted the hydrous copper (II) sulphate back to anhydrous copper (II) sulphate by heating. Great work Year 9.M...
