<strong>Cranford</strong> Turns On<br />
The Style<br />
British Science Week is a big deal for the Science department at<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong> who always put on a show. This year was no exception with<br />
a huge variety of activities and demonstrations throughout the week.<br />
All of our activities followed the national theme of ‘Journeys’ and<br />
we had a great turnout of budding, enthusiastic <strong>Cranford</strong> scientists<br />
who enjoyed themselves immensely.<br />
Period 0 sessions<br />
The week began with a Period 0 session titled ‘The Journey of<br />
Plastics’ which saw students investigating what household products<br />
and clothes contained tiny fragments of microplastics and how we<br />
can best avoid using them to preserve both our local and worldwide<br />
ecosystems. Students were shocked to see how many household<br />
items they use in their everyday lives contain tiny fragments of<br />
plastic.<br />
Period 0 on Wednesday was a very popular engineering-themed<br />
session which saw students making the tallest, but strongest, radio<br />
tower out of just dried spaghetti and tape. The theme was ‘Desert<br />
Journeys’ and looked at how we can build structures in the desert to<br />
better aid lines of communication over vast distances.<br />
Arguably the talk of the school was held on Thursday Period 0 with<br />
a session titled’ The Journey Through the Body’. Excellently run by<br />
a group of year 12 Biologists, the session saw a range of organs and<br />
organisms examined under their guidance - eyes, hearts, a pluck,<br />
fish, even octopi were available for our students to dissect. For many<br />
students this was a first opportunity to see the structures that keep<br />
us and other organisms alive close up.<br />
62<br />
Our final Period 0 session was held on Friday and took the form of a<br />
challenge – ‘The Journey through Chemistry’. Structured in a timetrial<br />
format, students had a series of chemical riddles and tasks to<br />
complete in the fastest time possible. We had a great turnout for this<br />
session and a number of very impressive times were set. The overall<br />
winner was Harsimran Bath in yera 9 with a time of 4:09. Well done<br />
to Harsimran and everyone else who attended one of the sessions.
