Leeds Beckett Science Circus

A group of Year 7 students took part in the Leeds Beckett University Science Circus on Wednesday 17 April 2019.

The students were given an introduction to University life, had a tour of the hi-tech Music Studios, took part in a lecture on Bioluminescence and tried out glow sticks, competed in a Civil Engineering tower building challenge, tried out thermal cameras and laser measuring devices during a Drawing and Heat Loss session, played Anatomy Bingo during the Anatomy and Physiology session and extracted DNA from a strawberry.

Mr Addison was impressed with the students' behaviour and said "The students were really well behaved and they had such a great day they were ready to move into the halls of residence!"
