Lab Induction

We have had lab inductions with Years 10, 11 and 12 students where they have been getting used to pipetting different volumes of food dye using micropipettes. This has allowed them to practice using the pipettes accurately and to get a feel for different volumes. We have been very impressed with the precision demonstrated by the students and their determination to develop their pipetting skills.

Engineering

Recently, Year 13 T-level student Robert undertook work experience at Beverston Engineering. He was asked to 3D model and create a drawing of a test piece that they'd been making in-house in order to help them conduct MSA studies (which is a study on the capability of a gauge). 

The pictures below are of Robert's work that he produced whilst on placement, they were made on a giant Mazak CNC. 

Ignite STEAM

Students have been exploring the science behind animation and the importance of frames per second using a Zoetrope. This machine enables viewers to see several drawings in rapid succession to make a moving image. Students have developed fine motor control skills, and grappled with the logistics of making their images into a repeat loop. This work serves as an introduction to an animation topic, so watch this space for more moving images! 

The ALCE Programme is Coming to Liverpool Life Sciences UTC

We are delighted to announce that we will be hosting an ALCE classroom, a programme led by the Spanish Ministry of Education through the Spanish Embassy Education Office. It is aimed at students of Spanish heritage who are pursuing their education abroad.

The ALCE classroom will offer free weekly after-school lessons designed to strengthen students’ Spanish language skills and deepen their understanding of Spanish culture. The programme is intended for young learners aged 7 to 17 who have prior knowledge of the language and family ties to Spain.

This is a unique opportunity for the Spanish community in our city to enrich their children’s education in a meaningful environment, deeply connected to their cultural roots. It is also a milestone for our school, as we become an official partner of the Spanish Embassy Education Office, beginning a new phase of collaboration that will bring valuable educational and cultural benefits to our wider school community.

We are proud to be part of this international educational network!

To enquire please email Maria Luisa.
