The kids are already bored, the snack cupboard is looking suspiciously empty, and you've heard the words "I'm boooooored!" approximately 47 times today. And it's only day ONE. 😅

🌱 Dig deeper. Think bigger. Discover the hidden world of nature! These sessions combine practical science, observation and investigation to help children understand the connections between living things, soil health and the natural recycling systems that sustain life.

Through hands-on investigations, practical experiments and nature-inspired challenges, children will discover that soil is far more than just dirt. It's a living ecosystem, full of activity, interaction and surprising science!

From hunting for mini-beasts and investigating earthworm behaviour to exploring decomposition and building natural filtration systems, each session encourages children to observe, question, investigate and think like real-life ecologists. 🔎 What will we discover?

I'm loving this good news story from Nature briefing!: Bleached coral can be revived by popping it next to some healthy coral; it seems the two pieces formed a bridge that the symbiotic algae could spread across!

It's #BiologyWeek and #IAmABiologist I LOVE all science, but I'm a Neurobiologist by background - studying how the brain works and interacts with physiology and behaviour 🧠 #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience

In this last session of the block (look out for priority booking links for the next block!), we continued our #MoveIt them for STEAM Explorers and explored forces, building a balancing buddy and creating a working grabber (to help tidy up my desk 😂).

In Nature Quest #UndergroundWorlds look at soils and rocks, we were modelling shifting sand dunes and succession in today’s session where I blew sand EVERYWHERE!!! So much fun. So much learning. So much problem solving and curiosity 🥰

It's #WorldSpaceWeek 4th-10th October! There are so many amazing #Science and #STEM opportunities to explore with space as a context! What will you discover?? #SpaceWeek #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience #EarthAndSpace #PrimaryScience

It’s just gorgeous at this time of year… late summer plants still showing off and now the changing season is starting to morph too… there’s so much science going on! 1/

I had great fun with another @roalddahlcharity session this week, exploring #FlightLab with paper planes, hoop glider, rockets, forces and more! So many great launches across the screen! #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #STEMClub #DrJoScience

This week in #NatureQuest in www.the2poundtuitionhub.com, we continued our journey in our Underground Worlds block - exploring rocks and soils and real-world impacts - by becoming chocolate geologists and making models of sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks as we delved into the rock cycle.

Testing wind speed and direction today in #CuriosityClub The Elemental House ….might have been more fun if it were a tiny bit windier 😂 We estimated using the Beaufort scale, practised monitoring wind direction and took some measurements of distance travelled over time to record the speed…

We estimated using the Beaufort scale, practised monitoring wind direction and took some measurements of distance travelled over time to record the speed… which was pretty much zero today on the eve of the autumn equinox 😜 and made a wind sock! #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience

My samples showed high nitrate levels, which isn’t all that surprising given the agricultural run off from surrounding land. It forms an important part of the picture and trend analysis across the country. #ScienceIsEverywhere #BeCurious #DrJoScience
