We were formulations chemists today, making and #TestingToothpaste in our #MaterialsWorld block in #STEAMExplorers
We made it, tested it and compared to shop bought!
Cleaning power was effective but taste let us down!

It's been an exciting week in the Dr Jo Science household.
It was Little Miss Science's official graduation this week.
I'm a very proud Mummy of a BSc (Hons) Zoology first class degree holder who has worked incredibly hard!

I'm so happy to have now met all of the schools in my Primary Science Quality Mark hubs for this Round.

From a local hub of schools across Hertfordshire, to an online hub across England and Wales, I'm so excited to see what incredible development happens in these schools over the year.

When today’s commute involves a 45 minute walk through fields, past rivers, woods, yarrow, dead nettle, ragworts, silk cushion spangle oak galls, acorns, carrots, haystacks and some excellent clouds, it’s a good day 🥰
