Another wonderful Friday! A huge thank you to Amy at @GeoBus_StA for an engaging and informative workshop on Artic sea life and climate change. The workshop complimented our session on World Earth Day greatly! @PWLLCAVC1

Year 3 really enjoyed their ‘virtual’ rocks workshop today with Amy from @GeoBus_UCL. They developed their knowledge of different types of rocks and of fossils. They particularly loved wearing their 3D glasses to examine a variety of rocks!

A fantastic workshop from @GeoBus_UCL all about earthquakes and volcanoes for @GSPSChina and @GSPSJapan. #gspsgeog @GwladysStPrim

@LyndonScience @Ninestiles Absolutely! You can find out all about GeoBus UCL here -> geobus-london.org.uk/secondary-work… and book in a workshop too! 🌍

@Ninestiles @GeoBus_UCL We would be interested in this. If you could send us the information 👌🏻

It was great working alongside @GeoBus_UCL with our Year 7s in Science recently. We looked at planets and earthquakes during the Zoom workshop. Learners thoroughly enjoyed the session and were inspired to learn more about seismology.

Year 5 really enjoyed their Virtual Space workshop this morning. They had the opportunity to explore each of the planets in 3D and learn lots of interesting facts about the solar system. Thank you @GeoBus_UCL for an excellent session. 🌕🌓🌙🌏🪐⭐️☄️🚀🧑‍🚀

Granite is January’s #RockOfTheMonth! #Granite is a coarse-grained #igneous rock varying in colour from pink to grey. It is formed below the ground over millions of years, allowing the crystals to grow.

@Myddelton_Prep @MyddeltonColl What fantastic salt dough fossils! 🦕

We did some messy science in #STEM club yesterday! We made fossils out of salt dough 👩🏼‍🔬🧑🏻‍🔬 When they have dried out, we will be able to paint them and take them home 😊 @GeoBus_UCL @MyddeltonColl

In our Schools Geology Challenge students can showcase their interest in geology, learn more about the way geoscience impacts our lives, and put their teamwork and presentation skills to the test. Enter now to win! ow.ly/e7ZH50KAOPm #SchoolsGeologyChallenge 📗✏️📘

@PHPrimarySchool Thank you very much for having us!

@GeoBus_StA @missSmakepeace We are indeed! It's Amy here and I think I responded to your email but if I have missed any messages do get back in touch at geobus@ucl.ac.uk and I'd be really happy to help! 🌍🦕🌋

@missSmakepeace @GeoBus_UCL Hi Sarah, Sorry - we never received your e-mail. We have a new team at GeoBus in St Andrews but we are still running outreach sessions. If you can e-mail geobus@st-andrews.ac.uk we'll be happy to discuss possible options. Best wishes, Lynn

Hi @GeoBus_StA @GeoBus_UCL, are you still running outreach sessions? I have emailed about the possibility of organising an in person or virtual session on careers for Earth Science week in October! 🤞

@SJSCamelford Thank you very much for having us!

This morning all YR8 students took part in an online geology workshop run by @GeoBus_UCL. Thank you to Amy for being amazing, the 3D glasses will be used all day no doubt!

Wow. What an incredible Festival #CheltSciFest was 🤩 We can't believe it's over and are already looking forward to the next one 🎉 You can relive all of the magic of the Festival in our highlights video; bit.ly/3xMFXMQ 🧪🤖 We hope you'll join us again next year!

Awesome #CheltSciFest festival highlight video now on YouTube… can you spot the GeoBus team?! ❄️🧊🏗⛴ An amazing week with so much amazing science! @ES_UCL #STEM youtu.be/iOMDVXNuFWU

Back in the wonderful MakerShack today with some amazing builds already! 🧊❄️🏗⛴ Plus it’s open from 6pm-10pm tonight, what will you build? @ES_UCL #CheltSciFest #STEM

It’s a beautiful morning here at #CheltSciFest! We will be in the MakerShack until 5pm!

An incredible build in the MakerShack at #CheltSciFest - it was designed to move around in the water and measure the ice from the side! 🧊❄️ What will you build? We are back in the MakerShack until 5pm today! @ES_UCL @CPOM_news

@micheltsamados @ES_UCL @uclmaps @MOSAiCArctic @thomas_rackow The @MOSAiCArctic artwork by @thomas_rackow and Friederike Krüger is incredible and a really great way of inspiring the visitors Arctic builds!

@GeoBus_UCL @ES_UCL @uclmaps Nice to see some of the lovely @MOSAiCArctic drawings by @thomas_rackow and Friederike Krüger showing the wide range of instrumentation we took with us during this amazing Arctic expedition!

GeoBus is back at the #CheltSciFest - you can find us in the #MakerShack all week! ❄️🧊🚀🌍 What will you build? @ES_UCL @uclmaps
