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.

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.
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: go.nasa.gov/2QpK0LF
ALT These four images taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope reveal the chaotic birth of stars in the Orion complex, the nearest major star-forming region to Earth.

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! 👏🏼

🦉🐦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.✍🏼
