#Downendscienceclub enjoyed being creative growing crystal gardens. Using the @RoySocChem education resource edu.rsc.org
Lots of fun and ingenuity designing cable runs for the Practical Action Squashed Tomato Challenge at science club. 🍅 @PracticalAction
We have our first collection of pens and glue sticks to go for recycling. Quite a haul! Thanks to J in science club for emptying all the recycling boxes in the science block.

So much feeling expressed through creativity in the Connecting Global Citizens workshop at the University of Bath at the sustainable transport challenge. @AmbassadorsGS Love it! @DownendschNews @DownendART #Downendscienceclub
A great day for #Downendscienceclub at Bath University with STEM ambassadors for the Sustainability Transport Challenge. Thankyou @AmbassadorsGS. Our teams explored sustainable ideas: human hamster wheel, solar panels, sponge tyres, hydro &pedal power.

Science club members have been working hard over the last month to develop their designs for the sustainable transport challenge #STEMambassadors. Thanks to Christian from @thalesgroup for showing us various materials and explaining their comparative properties. @DownendschNews
So proud of Joshua @DownendschNews for winning first prize in the School science Prize @RutherfordApLab for his essay: Why I love science. He has so much enthusiasm for science and environment. Can’t wait to see what amazing things he will do in the future. 🔬🧬🧪 @lisaj_howell

This week we hosted the finalists for the School Science Prize 🥳 - an opportunity for Key Stage 3 students to show their enthusiasm for science.📚
The 15 finalists were invited to celebrate at @RutherfordApLab to give presentations on why they love #science. 💙🧡🔭
Science club took up the Ditch the Dirt challenge from #PracticalAction today. After a discussion about the problems in obtaining clean water in some countries and fog catchers in Peru, we created filter system. Lots of mess with sand and muddy water ensued. @lisaj_howell
James West was the inspiration for science club as part of #BlackHistoryMonthUK. We made microphones using plastic cups and graphite. Such an amazing feeling when you see and hear a recording of your voice. @DownendschNews @lisaj_howell
Celebrating the brilliance of William Kamkwamba at #Downendscienceclub. #BlackHistoryMonthUK. Fantastic fun designing wacky wind turbines. @lisaj_howell @DownendschNews
The tallest lighthouse STEM challenge accepted at science club today. Lots of problem fixing and teamwork skills as well as fun! @DownendschNews @lisaj_howell

Tomorrow, an incredibly rare, once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event is happening! Jupiter will be its closest to Earth since 1963! Along with opposition, it’ll be SO bright, you’ll be able to see its bands and some moons just with binoculars!
This won’t happen again until 2129!
ALT Jupiter as seen by Hubble. Its bands and zones are clearly visible, seen as stripes running across the planet in shades of brown, white, and orange, and the Great Red Spot dominates the southern hemisphere and appears as a red dot in the image.
ALT A shot of Jupiter and 4 of its largest moons in a straight line labeled in order: “Ganymede, Io, Callisto, and Europa”. Jupiter appears in the center of these 4 moons, its large size making it the focal point of the image.

Students in the #Netherlands built this #solar-powered camper van. It can travel up to 740km a day - while powering a laptop, TV and coffee-maker.
We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate
