Each December, the year 12 Biology, Chemistry and Physics classes are involved in the ‘Biddenham Science Christmas Lectures'. Students split into small groups and prepare and give short presentations on scientific areas of interest.
Some of the winning presentations are shown below. These students all won a prize of a 'Very Short Introduction' book of their choice, which were kindly donated by Wadham College, Oxford.
Special mention to Alisha whose biology presentation on the ‘The Science of Procrastination’ was so good we felt it deserved a wider audience than just the A level scientists, and asked her to present it at our sixth form assembly.
“Thank you so much for helping me be able to present, and helping practice in the hall. It really helped with my projection, as I was totally scared no one would hear me – that didn’t seem to happen!
Additionally, I’m grateful you got me to present in the hall in the first place. It was scary but I enjoyed it in the end, and felt almost a ‘wash of pride’ when I finished, especially when people applauded.” Alisha
