Great to see the response from all of The Association for Science Education committees to the DfE Curriculum Review Report.
Lots of positives in:
⬇️ reduced content
🔎 focus on practical science
🌍 inclusion of climate change.

Happy #WorldAnteaterDay
🐾Anteaters are mammals
🦷They have no teeth
👅They use their long sticky tongues to eat 35,000 ants and termites per day!
🐜The are found in South and Central America (and London Zoo!)

Browsing in an antique bookshop earlier and I came across these beauties from the 1960s, using the #ScienceCapital teaching approach of personalising, localising and starting with the child! Science for rural schools!!

On #WorldKindnessDay yesterday, I was kind to myself and popped out for a midday walk in some sunshine - which feels extra indulgent given today’s weather! ☔️ 💦
I found plenty of science along the way too #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience

Much fun was had testing materials for an umbrella to keep teddy dry in #Star #CRESTAwards today

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!
