Years 5 and 6 had a brilliant time learning all about electricity with @trav_science today! ⚡️Some of the experiments were seriously hair-raising—literally! ⚡️ #StPhilipsScience #HandsOnLearning #ElectricityExplorers

This week we had a special visitor - Adrian - for an exciting Science show. @trav_science KS2 joined in with some fantastic forces experiments.

Fantastic to be back once again at Christ the King Wavertree. A very appreciative audience, giving lots of great answers to my science questions!

We continued our #CTKScience day with a really interesting interactive workshop on materials. Thanks so much to @trav_science for cementing our subject knowledge

We have been so lucky to enjoy a wonderful workshop from @trav_science #CTKScience

The staff had an excellent CPD session tonight led by Adrian Bowden from @trav_science. We looked lots of ways to further imbed sticky science knowledge in lots of fun and practical ways. It was lovely to work with the @StStephens_Bury staff too!

A frosty start to the New Year. Spotted on the ground in the walled garden, Worden Park, Leyland

I've been going to St Wilfrid's in Standish for over 20 years now! Always a joy to return and work with their fabulous pupils!

I'm co-hosting a FREE online Science Lead Meet on Thursday 28th November after school ticketsource.co.uk/university-of-…

My first visit to Roe Lee Primary. Very attentive listeners & showing really good science knowledge throughout the shows!

Berries forming on Ivy. Popular with wasps...

Why do trees drop their leaves before winter? One current idea is that it will prevent them being blown down by strong winter winds. Lots of leaves give a large surface area, whereas bare branches allow the wind to pass through

Here is the garlic bulb after just a few days floating in water....

Here's how to grow garlic bulbs for KS1 plants. Float them in water using pipe insulation ( or part of a pool noodle) and they will grow roots and a shoot in a few days...

Fantastic spider webs highlighted by water droplets on a misty morning

Growing bulbs: chop off the tops of spring onions and place in water. They will regrow the shoot really quickly (in warm weather a few millimetre growth in hours, and centimetres over the next few days)
