Wow - that’s really good!

[@stldenglish @stlenglish]

@stldscience - cannot recommend @massolit highly enough!

[STLScience @stldscience]

Really looking forward to seeing Year 11 again - we have great bridging lessons planned in Biology, Chemistry and Physics plus please be ready ask us all your questions about the courses. See you all this week!

[St Leonard's Sixth Form @STLDSixthForm]

Looking forward to welcoming Y11 into the Martyrs' Building tomorrow for Bridging. Have a great week and enjoy this first step on your Sixth Form journey. #wherewillstleonardssixthformtakeyou #wherewillyoutakestleonardssixthform

Very interesting case of island miniaturisation - where a small area can’t support larger versions of an animal species so it decreases in size by natural selection.

[Natural History Museum @NHM_London]

Researchers have sequenced the first-ever ancient DNA from the tiny elephants that used to live on Sicily.

It has revealed how their giant ancestors rapidly shrunk in size, shedding at least 8,000kg - or 85% of their weight - over just 20 generations 🐘

Wow! On for Year 11 triple and A level Physics... great photos of star forming nebula around the constellation of Orion.

[NASA @NASA]

A star is born! 🌟

Though our galaxy is an immense city of stars, what we know about newly forming stars largely remains a mystery. The results of a comprehensive @NASAHubble survey are leaving astronomers puzzled. Dive into the details: https://t.co/1n6ItoRqL2

[Grace Hudson @MissH_biology]

I’ve uploaded my Rosenshine’s Principles CPD booklet to my google drive (link in pinned tweet) ☺️ Thanks to @teacherhead @olicav and @KateJones_teach for writing such great books that hugely help to bridge the gap between educational research and application to the classroom! 👏🏼

May have to look in the recycling and give this a go....

[Belfast Zoo @BelfastZoo]

Activity: Make a "mini greenhouse" and plant some seeds! 🌱

Did you know that today is national Plant a Flower Day? 🌷

The team at Belfast Zoo have had great success repurposing plastic bottles for planting vegetable and flower seeds. ♻️

Interesting thread on how beaks are adapted to different foods:

[NHM Learning @NHM_Learn]

🦉🐦If you've been recording the birds that you've seen today in your #NHMHomeworkClub nature journal, have you been noting down details of the feathers, beaks and behaviours of the birds? 🦆🦢Learning Volunteers have looked into why these are such useful things to record.✍🏼

@STLDGeog This just pseudoscience .... it’s obviously coffee ☕️😉

[STLScience @stldscience]

What are the differences in the Covid vaccines? Very good, clear summary: https://t.co/L6ZMdjIkYr
