Did you know: A star was recently seen reaching the end of its life cycle with a supernova explosion, but unexpectedly an object was seen flying out of the explosion! It is suspected to be a white dwarf formed from an incomplete supernova. #STEM #astronomy tiny.cc/8v9isz
Did you know: A collaboration of #biochemists exploring communication between #plants have confirmed that plants can send electrical signals through the soil! What these messages contain and whether they're actually intentional remains to be seen. #STEM tiny.cc/0f7gsz

Don’t miss #BigBangDigital2020 1 day event tomorrow for students aged 11+ with an interest in #STEM Get involved with interactive polls,live Q&A sessions & Big Bang activities! There’s also a follow-up competition for summer inspiration digitalbigbang.co.uk @successatschool
Did you know: Last year a Chinese rover on the Moon caused quite a stir when it discovered a strange glistening substance. It is now believed that these mounds were scattered clumps of breccia, rock fused with glass formed by an impacting meteorite! #STEM tiny.cc/elp9rz
Did you know: The combination of the gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon as well as thermal radiation from the Sun can occasionally stir up the Earth's atmosphere to cause resonance - causing the entire atmosphere of the planet vibrate like a wave! tiny.cc/lfp9rz
Did you know: A collaboration of experts across various fields in #Biology are attempting to carry out a very daunting task - build a fully comprehensive list of every living species on Earth! This may take a while... #STEM #Nature tiny.cc/wap9rz

Today will be our 5th and final Physics talk as part of Enrichment Week at QPHS. Today's focus is Particle Accelerators, looking at what they are and answering the big questions on why they actually matter. Join us as we start in about 10 minutes time!
Just a reminder if your interested in #Physics Mr Griffiths is giving a series of short talks for students in Years 10-12 on topics inc. #TimeTravel & Colonising Space from 12:30 each day this week on Teams. To join in let Mr Griffiths know via Edulink or email #EnrichmentWeek
Today we will have our 4th live Physics talk, this time casting our minds far into the future to consider the different opportunities for colonising space. The galaxy is ours for the taking! #Physics #Astrophysics #STEM

Did you know: A team of Physicists from Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and the University of Central Florida have discovered a that bubbles can cause a phenomenon unseen in visible light before - branching! These random patterns are amazing! #STEM tiny.cc/iq9qrz
Join us today for the third Physics talk on one of the most interesting topics to discuss - the dreadful history of nuclear weapons. We'll be starting at 12:30 sharp, as if any talk is likely to run over time it is most certainly this one! #Physics #STEM

Some amazing work being done by James in Year 8 who’s been busy collecting plastic bottles from the street for his #recycling plastics project & then using the transparent plastic to act as a mini greenhouse to grow his tomatoes! @allaboutstem @QPHS_STEM #homelearning #homegrown
Today will be the second in our Physics talks series, this time focusing on tackling the challenges of energy in the future. Join in at 12:30 on Microsoft Teams! #physics #energy
Interested in #Physics ? All next week Mr Griffiths will be offering a series of short talks for students in Years 10-12 on captivating topics such as #TimeTravel & Colonising Space from 12:30 each day on Teams. To join in let Mr Griffiths know via Edulink or email @qphs6thform
Did you know: On this day in 1908 a small asteroid exploded several kilometres above the Tunguska River in Russia causing a shock wave that flattened around 80 million trees! In 2014, to raise awareness of the threat posed by asteroids June 30th was officially named #AsteroidDay
The first of the series of Physics talks will start at 12:30 today in the STEM Club group on Microsoft Teams, and will focus on the topic of Time Travel! If you're interested but haven't joined yet please contact Mr Griffiths via Edulink, email or Teams. #physics #timetravel

Did you know: A team of researchers at the University of Konstanz in Germany have spent over a decade monitoring dolphin behaviour, and have documented that dolphins can learn from each other how to use tools, just like great apes! #STEM #nature #Dolphins tiny.cc/151arz
Did you know: An international team of physicists using cutting-edge gravitational wave detectors have identified a new type of astronomical object that fills the gap between a neutron star and a black hole, currently labelled a black neutron star! #STEM tiny.cc/tye9qz
Did you know: Energy transfer from an orbital platform is approaching reality as America's Naval Research Laboratory launched the first trial satellite for "power beaming", turning efficient solar energy in orbit into microwaves beamed down to Earth! #STEM tiny.cc/g9k6qz
Did you know: Over the past 2 years members of the CHIME/FRB research collaboration have been observing Fast Radio Bursts from a source 500 million light years from Earth. They formed a repeated pattern of 4 days of bursts & 12 days none. #STEM #Astronomy tiny.cc/tfe0qz
