IGCSE 1 scientists 2026

Starting Strong: IGCSE 1 Takes to the Lab!  Our IGCSE 1 scientists officially kicked off their lab journey this week by investigating the heating and cooling curves of stearic acid! 

Using water baths, precise timing, and continuous temperature logging, the class tracked the exact moments stearic acid transitioned between solid and liquid states.

Key Skills in Action:

Data Precision: Recording temperatures every 30 seconds to identify the phase-change “plateau.”

Particle Theory: Connecting macro melting and freezing observations to molecular energy changes.

Graphing: Translating raw lab data into professional heating and cooling curves. 

Watching our newest IGCSE cohort work with such technical focus proves they are well on their way to practical mastery!
