A good morning read. Budgets are tight - what can we do to help still get practical work going? community.stem.org.uk/blogs/tim-brad…

"By aligning practical science with clear learning goals and embracing a more inquiry-based approach, we can ensure that students don’t just enjoy science, but really understand it" (Bradbury, T., 2024)

Always asked by young people for more practical during class time therefore faculty are undertaking the ASE making science practical training. First CPD very useful.

This story brought a tear to my eye yesterday. "In recognition of his outstanding devotion" - a beautiful story. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

We are sad to share the loss of Snowflake, our leucistic penguin. At 28 years old, he was our oldest gentoo and a standout character in the colony. He was put to sleep this morning after ongoing age-related health issues. He was a much loved favourite and he will be missed 💛

A bit of a must-read! Concentrating on making practical work as effective as possible.

Distance between hot a colder gas particles! 👏👏👏👌🤘🤘
