In June our annual field trip to Malham gave Year 12 Biology students the opportunity to carry out a field study in woodlands. This is in preparation for their A2 studies. At the field centre the students were taught sampling techniques and carried out a study on the distribution of Dogs Mercury under Ash and Sycamore trees. Although it was a rather soggy day, Biologists at Batley Girls' are now experts in using quadrats and random sampling!
