Loved giving out our first AQA accredited Unit Award Scheme certificates! It’s wonderful to be able to give formal recognition of the skills and learning our students have shown! We’re in a trial phase and should have this available for all our students for September! 🥳

Beautiful day at Cresswell Crags today!
The joy of finding a high clay content soil to use as a ‘binding agent’ in the daub of your wattle and daub construction! 🤩

After mastering the method to produce as much carbon dioxide as we needed, the 11-16s Outdoor STEM group conducted a range of investigations to explore the properties and impacts of carbon dioxide 👏 😊☀️🌿🧪.

There’s nothing like playing catch with a balloon of pure carbon dioxide to learn through experience how dense it is compared to air! Great to be back to Outdoor STEM!!

Look at this fantastic model of a carbon dioxide molecule made by one of the 8-12s Outdoor STEM students today! It even has the double bonds! 🥰

A fantastic afternoon with all the Year 6 students at Totley Primary in our workshop about Linnaean Classification! The students met a weird and wonderful range of organisms from all the kingdoms and discovered how they’re classified to species 😃

It was wonderful to bring together fifteen #homeeducated children and eight #phd #science researchers this afternoon!
The children’s questions were so insightful and broad-thinking and the scientists really helped us all to learn so much about their varied research fields! 😃

Fantastic to meet more #PhD researchers from @GW4alliance today for another online ‘Effective Outreach With Children’ course. Today they’ve begun to translate their complex research into engaging, inspirational and enjoyable #outreach activities for children. Looking forward to more tomorrow!

Meet Skippy! Our Blue Mountain Jumping Spider! He likes light-bathing, eating fruit flies and polishing his beautiful iridescent green-blue mandibles! 🥰
Looking forward to introducing him to some primary school children in a few weeks in our ‘Arthropods’ curriculum enrichment workshop!

Fluorescing chlorophyll! Great work from today’s 8-12s Practical Science students!
As they waited for their photosynthesis experiments to work, they extracted chlorophyll from spinach and saw how good it is at absorbing energy from light!

Today’s 8-12s Practical Science students loved watching and measuring diffusion with our phenolphthalein spheres! So satisfying to watch the pink colour vanish as the vinegar diffused in!

A friend and I found this beautiful male chaffinch yesterday, unable to fly or walk due to a hugely deformed leg (yes that’s its leg, poor thing)!
It seemed glad of the shelter and food we gave it and now it’s being well looked after at a wildlife sanctuary. 😊
