Year 12 and 13 pupils observe the effect of a magnetic
field on cathode rays by using the Magnet Position slider
to move a horseshoe magnet (its north pole facing you)
so that its poles straddle the cathode ray tube. William
Crookes experimented with cathode rays and magnets in
a similar manner, and his observations on the deflection
of the rays by magnetic fields led him to conclude that
they were composed of negatively charged molecules.

A level Chemistry and IGCSE give students building
blocks for an individualised curriculum that develops
their knowledge, understanding and lifelong skills
of scientific enquiry, confidence in technology,
communication and teamwork skills that make them
become effective learners and provide a solid foundation
for their continuing educational journey.

Whoever said that learning Science only takes place
in the Labs. Our very accomplished Biologists not
only exhibited their proficient dissecting skills on
various organs but they braved the Summer sun to
carry out various experimental investigations in Wild
AFRICA!!!!!!!
