In recent Year 11 Biology lessons, our pupils have been hands-on in creating microscope slides to observe the process of mitosis! After preparing a vial with hydrochloric acid and immersing it in hot water, they added a garlic clove, allowing the root tips to soften for study. Pupils then carefully cut 1-2mm from the root tip to observe key stages of mitosis, such as telophase, prophase, and anaphase.

This practical activity is an essential part of the Year 11 curriculum and could feature on their upcoming exams. Well done to all the pupils for their hard work!
