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

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!
ALT Jupiter as seen by Hubble. Its bands and zones are clearly visible, seen as stripes running across the planet in shades of brown, white, and orange, and the Great Red Spot dominates the southern hemisphere and appears as a red dot in the image.
ALT A shot of Jupiter and 4 of its largest moons in a straight line labeled in order: “Ganymede, Io, Callisto, and Europa”. Jupiter appears in the center of these 4 moons, its large size making it the focal point of the image.

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
