Fascinating visit to @bodyworldsnl #HappinessProject this weekend #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience #Heart #DigestiveSystem #HumanBody

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. #PSQM

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 🥰 #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience

This week in... #STEAM Explorers we have been creating cardboard connectors to use in upcoming design and construction projects in The £2 Tuition Hub (Home Ed Group) #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience 1/3

Fantastic hands-on learning last week with engaging, purposeful science workshops: exploring the Digestive System in #Year4 and the Heart in #Year6 #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience #AnimalsIncludingHumans #HumanBody #Digestion #Food #Teeth #DigestiveSystem #Heart #CirculatorySystem

It was fantastic to be back at @rigb.org at the weekend, presenting all about states of matter, using liquid nitrogen, inflating balloons, overcoming the inevitable when experiments don't work (real science!!) and sharing science fun with a great audience! Thanks for having me!

Another fabulous day at @ri_science for the #DemoTeam and friends extravaganza! I absolutely LOVE sharing science fun and facts in the incredible Faraday lecture theatre, steeped in so much history! I was very excited to meet Sergei @thedadlab and catch up with other friends #ScienceIsEverywhere

Looking forward to being back at @ri_science tomorrow as part of the #AwardWinning #DemoTeam extravaganza!! www.rigb.org/whats-on #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience

Spontaneous breakfast-inspired mini #GardenIndicators #pH investigation! Any ideas what I’ve used?!?! #ScienceIsEverywhere #DrJoScience #BeCurious

Exciting delivery for the #DrJoScience #PrepRoom today - re-stocking hearts for dissection workshops next week 🫀👍 #CirculatorySystem #PrimaryScience #HandsOnScience #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious

The aftermath of two glorious sessions today for #STEAMExplorers and #NatureQuest in the2poundtuitionhub.com - where children wondered, investigated, explored, tested and found things out - and tortoises waved to me! My heart is full 🥰 #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience #HomeEd

I was honoured to receive the #ResearchIntegrity prize at @babrahaminst.bsky.social #LabTalks last week for the #ScientificTraining co-developed with @babraham-bioinf.bsky.social colleagues. #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience

Having a play around on this soggy Sunday with my new background/photobooth/filming set up for teaching this week. Looking forward to sharing live demos and sciencey investigating fun! #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience #NotGifted #NotSponsored but open to being sent free science stuff 😆

“Making the link between scientific literacy and oracy clearer, will raise the profile of oracy-rich primary science and help to demonstrate how dialogue can support the development and application of scientific thinking.“ New @royalsociety.org report by @prisciearle.bsky.social and colleagues 👇

Exploring properties of rocks… a chemical reaction between the acidic lemon juice and the alkaline calcium carbonates in the rock and helps us identify what type of rock it is. #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience #Rocks #Properties #RocksAndSoils #PrimaryScience #Geography #STEMeducation

It’s #NationalReadABookDay I love reading and I’ve read loads of books this summer - with lots still in my TBR pile! 📚 - on a diverse range of subjects from fiction and non-fiction, thought-provoking, and feel-good easy reads. #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience #ILoveReading

I’m currently on a mini #Research #FieldTrip exploring for the new year’s #PrimaryScience and #Geography lessons and my Nature and STEAM sessions. Currently investigating the sea, rock pools, living things and their habitats, adaptations, and more! #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience

My portable office is employing method acting and immersion for planning upcoming #LivingThingsAndTheirHabitats #Adaptations #Biomes #Habitats #MicroHabitats #Seasons lesson content this week! (Also loving the reflection on my tea cup!! 🐟). #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience #Nature

Looking forward to being part of this fun, demo-filled extravaganza! #ScienceIsEveryehere #Becurious #DrJoScience

Very proud of the incredible, flexible, creative, can-do, problem-solving, *award-winning* @rigb.org #DemoTeam and even prouder to get to work with them sometimes too 🤩 (play spot Dr Jo in the picture!!) 👇 #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience

It’s the start of meteorological autumn in the northern hemisphere (and spring on the other side of the world) - although we still have a few weeks until the equinox and astronomical autumn. 1/ #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience #Nature #Seasons #Autumn

During a discovery call this week about an exciting potential project, I was asked if I have a team...nope, it's just me. With my unique blend of scientific background, teaching, training, public engagement and science communication experience. I am my USP. bio.link/DrJoScience #ScienceIsEverywhere

For parents who have been hearing cries of “I’m hungryyyyyyyyyy….” all summer long, you are not alone! Sound on: A young sparrow hawk fledgling is begging for food! #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience #NatureQuest ##365DaysWild

It’s #GCSE #ResultsDay today. I hope you got what you need but remember there is #NoWrongPath and there are many options and doors open to you, now and in the future. #Education

Following on from finding some different oak galls a couple of weeks ago, I present to you the flamboyant mossy rose gall! #ScienceIsEverywhere #galls #Biodiversity #BeCurious #DrJoScience #NatureQuest

This is an incredible price for a brilliant book! Great to support STEM and science learning in school, for adults who love science, adults who never really ‘got’ science, and curious people everywhere! 👇

This #WorldElephantDay why not take a moment to marvel at these incredible animals and learn more about their #conservation www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/ar... #365DaysWild #BeCurious #ScienceIsEverywhere #DrJoScience

The sun is shining in my part of the world... time to get exploring outside with some #WaterPlay, #Measuring and #FloatingAndSinking Investigating buoyancy, density, forces, cause and effect, capacity and so much more Find this, and more... 1/ #ScienceIsEverywhere#ThingsToDoWithKids #SafetyFirst

What do you notice? What do you wonder? These are oak galls - caused by types of gall wasp laying eggs in different parts of the oak tree. #BeCurious #DrJoScience #NatureQuest #ScienceIsEverywhere 1/

Leaf rust on a frangipani leaf. DYK leaf rusts are actually fungi! It’s characterised yellow/orange powdery pustules on the underside of leaves, which can lead to premature leaf drop. While it can be unsightly, it generally doesn’t harm the long-term health of mature trees. #ScienceIsEverywhere

#ISeeMoss @mosssafari.bsky.social I’m questioning my life choice not bringing my microscope on holiday to investigate differences in the microscopic inhabitants in moss here 😜 #MossSafari #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience #summerScience

WHAT'S THE POINT OF PRIMARY SCIENCE? Why should science stand shoulder to shoulder with English and maths? In this #PrimaryScience Podcast episode, Tim Holford plays devil's advocate and asks me this simple but powerful question. Find out how I respond 👇 Full episode: YouTube: lnkd.in/gpd68bsH

It was great to connect, share and chat with fellow #EastAnglia #STEAM #Educators today. We each have different approaches, backgrounds and niches but so much in common.
