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.

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

[DownendScience @DownendScience]

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!

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

@dgs_science Thanks for the idea. Science club had a go today. Lots of fun.
