@NTGates it was another superb episode with beautiful footage throughout, but why was the decision made to feature non-native ponies as conservation grazers? Why not Exmoor ponies?

@WhTech @TECHOGNITIONUK @technicians_mih @LaBLiFeUK Lucky you! My local Tesco(s) have also stopped stocking these, all three of them

@BrecklandSci my key bunch is so weighty it spends most of the time on the bench in the prep room, I colour coded keys that look similar but have been here so long now that I know them all by sight 🤣

@BrecklandSci root tip squashes to look for mitosis... because pupils struggle to do this well and find mitotic cells but if I help by looking at their preparations and then find some they're delighted!

@MossSafari I love the moss safari, I recommend it to our teachers every time as it's way better than pond water, and your resources are great 😀

[Downside Scitechs @DownsideScience]

@scitechbeck @ScietechSmith @Preproom well done! @SAPS_News has good info for this one too. Also I keep my algae growing all year now I've got the set up right

@Love_plants only the leaves so far this year for me too, but then I haven't heard a cuckoo yet either and they usually coincide. Is that why this plant is also called the cuckoo pint?

[Downside Scitechs @DownsideScience]
