I do recall one visit to my French exchange family mid GCSEs; we visited a roman museum and I was translating the engravings from Latin to French - so grateful for my grounding in foreign languages!

As a Teacher Developer, we were really keen that there is sufficient time, funding, support and equal access to impactful professional development opportunities for these proposed curriculum changes.
Read all the responses from primary, secondary and more:
www.ase.org.uk/.../ase-comm....
Great to see the response from all of The Association for Science Education committees to the DfE Curriculum Review Report.
Lots of positives in:
โฌ๏ธ reduced content
๐ focus on practical science
๐ inclusion of climate change.

I'm looking forward to wearing two of my hats simultaneously this lunchtime as my worlds smoosh together, delivering a webinar to T level science teachers about ethics, data and research integrity.

Happy #WorldAnteaterDay
๐พAnteaters are mammals
๐ฆทThey have no teeth

They use their long sticky tongues to eat 35,000 ants and termites per day!
๐The are found in South and Central America (and London Zoo!)

And science in buildings volume 2 (sadly no volume 1), complete with hand drawn diagramsโฆ and then what liked very much like the beloved encyclopaedia of my childhood: #ScienceForAll

Browsing in an antique bookshop earlier and I came across these beauties from the 1960s, using the #ScienceCapital teaching approach of personalising, localising and starting with the child! Science for rural schools!!
