After 2 years of head scratching and thinking, the second edition of It's Not Fair has finally been published. Great to hear such positive comments about it at @associationscied.bsky.social national conference - and that all the copies that Millgate brought to the conference were sold.

If you’re coming to the @associationscied.bsky.social national conference in Nottingham this week, don’t forget to pack your thermals.

Many, many years ago we tweeted #attenborough following an @bbc documentary on dinosaurs. Our question was; "why are you so fascinated with dinosaurs?" Still love the response.

Highly recommended reading. Chapter 1 reinforces why ‘soil’ should have greater prominence in the KS2 science curriculum @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

Might be worth adding this eg of natural selection to your canon. IMO it’s a great example...smaller heads! From Where do 🐪 belong - Ken Thompson

Rereading The Song of the Dodo (David Quamen) - only 18 pages in and learnt about the Madagascan chameleon (3cm), the Giant Earwig from St Helena (up to 5cm) and the extinct ostrich-like Aepyronis (up to 10ft tall).

Sad but rewarding day when our L6 UGs have their last science lecture. Recapping all the great resources out there. ‘Pick a statement from the NC and use Explorify, TAPs, CLEAPSS, Be Safe, Science Capital, PLAN to teach it’ @associationscied.bsky.social @primary-stem.co.uk @cleapss.bsky.social

Fab afternoon with United Learning Year 5 classes talking about Superhero Scientists - lots of questions about who is in the book and how we wrote it. If you would like to learn about Ibn al-Hatham, click here: www.millgatehouse.co.uk/wp-content/u...
