All science welcome here! @shakeyrach’s investigation has us very intrigued…

Beautiful Botany

We love this approach to identifying plants. Great example of this week’s theme is getting us all enjoying the nature right outside our homes.

Well done @RodeHeathSchool!

Bird Banquet

This is great idea! Cara has been tempting more birds into her balcony with some delicious home-made feeders.

Why not find out what the birds where you live might like to eat and see if they’ll stay and give you a song.

Today Marthy brought science and music together by making her own harmonica.

Now she can join the birds in the dawn chorus!

Find out how she did it here.

We hope you don’t see any birds in trouble while you’re outside investigating this week, but we’re glad this one is being looked after by some bird-lovers.

Great that you took advice before approaching the dove - we hope it’s ok!


Bugs welcome!

Bugs welcome!

This is a wonderful bit of science for the summer. You can attract more wildlife to your garden by opening your very own bug hotel!

Have a look at this one. Thanks for sharing!

Skittle Art!

Skittle Art!

Wow! We love this rainbow made with skittles that @stannespri have shared!

Maybe you can get artistic with science too!


Identifying Birds!

Identifying Birds!

We’re all enjoying birdwatching this week for #DawnChorusDay

Illustrations are a great way to identify what you’ve spotted and share your experience with us. Get inspired by Emily’s pictures here.


Wonder Wednesdays

Wonder Wednesdays

@DrChips kicked off his Wonder Wednesdays in association with the Great Science Share Themes today with Bird Inspiration!

@EdadventuresM tuned in.

Catch up with the lesson here and investigate how birds survived or died because of the shape of their beaks and the food that was available.

Don’t miss another Wonder Wednesday! Stay up-to-date here!

Identifying Plants!

Identifying Plants!

This week’s theme has taken us out into our gardens and local green spaces.

Pupils at @RodeHeathSchool have been investigating plants.

Take a look at Charlotte’s fabulous illustrations here


Remember Claire's wildlife survey...

Remember Claire's wildlife survey...

…Well @FionaGrayTutor answered the call with the results from her garden - the scarecrow works!

Find out what flew by here!

Let’s keep this investigation going - count the birds in your garden!

Learn about greenhouse gases here!

Learn about greenhouse gases here!

Year 6 pupils @Myddleton_Prep have been learning about green house gases.

Take a look at these diagrams for a great way to share science.

Our weekly themes all link to the Global Sustainability Development Goals so there’ll be more opportunities to share questions about greenhouse gases soon…

Penguin ponderings with Marthy

Penguin ponderings with Marthy

@EdadventuresM asked SO many questions today!

Check out science Marthy’s investigations about penguins here. Some great creative ideas for science you can do with things you have at home.

We wonder what she found out…

Listen up...

Listen up...

Corey has a great question to do with how birds communicate.

Listen to this and see what you think this birdcall means.

Maybe you can get to know the calls of the birds in your garden too.

Hover at Home!

Hover at Home!

We love this homemade paper hovercraft!

Can you think of a project like this to do at home? We’d love to see more like this!

Does it make you think about how birds fly too?

All about birds

All about birds

Jude was one step ahead of our theme when he shared his facts about birds with his teacher!

Check out his video here - you could share something just like this for #DawnChorusDay!

Wilf Wonders...

…what time in the morning do birds start singing?

You can keep an eye on this great investigation by following @WilfWonders and @GreatSciShare

We wonder what the results will be…
