Young Grade 10 and 11 learners from Midland Primary and High School explore Science.

The Midland Primary and High School (MPHS) learners are enthusiastically immersing themselves in the world of science.

These young learners in Grade 10 and 11 respectively are actively engaging in practical experiments, transforming theoretical concepts into tangible experiences in their science classes.

Guided by their dedicated teachers, learners are conducting experiments across physics, chemistry, and biology, honing vital skills in observation, measurement, and analysis.

Head of the Science Department Miyanda Nyirenda said this hands-on approach allows them to better grasp abstract concepts, making science both accessible and enjoyable.

“Our goal is to foster a learning environment that promotes inquiry, creativity, and critical thinking. Through these practical experiments, our students gain a deeper understanding of scientific principles and their real-world applications,” said Nyirenda.
