Year 12 Formby Trip
Year 12 travelled to Formby Point on 12th July to complete the fieldwork element of their A Level course. The students completed a transect study and took soil samples in order to investigate biological succession. Here are some of our favourite pictures from the day!
Lesson resources
All lesson resources (PowerPoints, Word documents etc.) have been moved to the relevant teacher’s page under the Lesson Resources tab.
