Science Masterclass

June 15, 2023

This was the first of our Year 5 Science Masterclass sessions since Covid. 30 Year 5 students from Fair Field Junior school, Aldenham Prep and St Hilda’s participated for a two hour session.

The students were given the chance to investigate the chemistry behind how light can be produced by reactions through three experiments. Students were able to use a range of scientific equipment to make chemiluminescence, use fire writing and react magnesium with oxygen all in our senior school laboratories.

Students explored how AI can be misused, from edited images to inaccurate translations and why it’s important to think critically. A fun translation challenge helped us spot who relied on AI and who didn’t!
