You’ll be surprised how quickly #nature can take over, if it is left undisturbed. #Explore nature on fallen logs, old stone walls or even pavement corners. What can you see? Make your own journal and share your #adventure with #NHMHomeworkClub #RediscoverSummer @DCMS

Let’s #explore #animal moves with #NHMHomeworkClub! Imagine crawling on sea floor and clinging onto rocks like a starfish. Bears move the same two legs on each side in alternate steps, while rabbits hop with their strong hind legs and land on front legs.

Hello, #NHMHomeworkClub is back! This week, we're making Barn Swallow mask & wings. Have you spotted any yet? They fly from Africa to the UK in the summer. Their blue&orange feathers help them fly, keep warm and stay dry. Watch the video and make your own!#RediscoverSummer @DCMS

For #NHMHomeworkClub we'll be thinking about a very important part of science: recording data! Nigel has been for a walk and collected some leaves and seeds from the park - now he's taking some measurements! Why not do the same with items from outdoors or around the house? #BSW21
