Several mammal species live in cold-water environments due to adaptations like blubber and large size. A notable exception is the sea otter—so how does it stay warm? A 2021 Science study found an answer: skeletal muscle thermogenesis. scim.ag/6lV #ScienceMagArchives

Can anybody point me in the right direction for research on effective modelling in the classroom? #cogsci

💪💪💪I'm so lucky to work with such an amazing team!

The #hypothalamus plays a large role in coordinating the array of neuronal signals that are responsible for keeping the body in a stable state. A special issue of Science unpacks this key brain region’s impact on physiological and behavioral homeostasis. scim.ag/4AG

For any Science teachers based in NI having difficulties sourcing bacteria due to Brexit, blue milk makes a great substitute. 50ul and an L-shaped spreader. We used alcohol, bleach, lemon juice and vinegar @theASE @chatbiology

Investigating Newton's Second law with 11X3. Absolutely love seeing their progress in science!

How do you help struggling readers❓ sbee.link/mp9bkdx67w via Teaching Ideas 4U #ela #reading #teachertwitter

Teaching pupils to infer meaning is teaching them to use the information that's present alongside their own reasoning. This means teaching more vocabulary & exploring more high quality, thought-provoking texts. Inference is not a transferable skill, it's knowledge-based.

How teachers sequence examples influences what students learn. Here's what's useful to know: ↓

@MAbraham87 Rewordify is great but unsure if it shows reading age. Does however show words in text that may be unaccessible to LA students and rewrites text in a student friendly formate, see below for a ln example of PD I delivered to my department on this!

Does anyone know of a free website or application that can estimate the required reading age needed to understand a passage of writing? #edutwitter

How gorgeous is that!! Thanks @a_freeparticle

The body is host to an abundant diversity of microorganisms that play critical roles in maintaining human health. A 2022 special issue of Science looked at our understanding of human microbiomes—and what remains to be discovered. scim.ag/39k #WorldMicrobiomeDay

Horizons Day: 7Y are having an incredible time @spacecentre in Leicester today with Team Science! It’s been amazing to see students being so curious about our universe and beyond! #horizonsday
