It has just reached 20:00 and the #ASEchat has now begun!! Remember to use the hashtag so that everyone can see your tweets.

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:00 PM EDT

@YSJournal and by coincidence the #ASEConf at Sheffield on 19 Nov has a research theme https://t.co/SmBXywLC8J #ASEchat

edubabbIe Oct 3 @ 3:00 PM EDT

If they give to the two research programs as well as our conceptual base. #asechat

so_obtuse Oct 3 @ 3:00 PM EDT

Looking forward to #ASEchat this evening, hosted by @YSJournal

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:01 PM EDT

@YSJournal Is the research in the journal restricted by age range? #ASEchat

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:01 PM EDT

First question - Have you ever pursued an independent research project within school or teach students who have? #ASEchat

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:01 PM EDT

What was your experience of this and how could it have been better? #ASEchat

MichaelRand_ Oct 3 @ 3:02 PM EDT

Really looking forward to the #ASEchat

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:02 PM EDT

@YSJournal We ran a research project in collaboration with university. Needed more time for lecturer to speak to pupils #ASEchat

12akAnara Oct 3 @ 3:03 PM EDT

@YSJournal I have done CREST award project at school, it was a great experience #ASEchat

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:03 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @YSJournal #ASEChat yes, time can be a real barrier

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:03 PM EDT

@ViciaScience haha, how could i forget! #ASEchat

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:02 PM EDT

@ViciaScience At the YSJournal we publish research projects done by students between 12 and 20.

LauraP3517 Oct 3 @ 3:03 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @YSJournal #ASEchat the journal is written, edited and produced by students age 12-20

Newmanphysics Oct 3 @ 3:03 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @Bio_Joe @YSJournal #asechat My favourite to share with physics students is https://t.co/O5c2hYGsK8 BF^2H

stevethedoc1 Oct 3 @ 3:04 PM EDT

@YSJournal #asechat for Y5/6 resulting in them presenting papers at cross LA conference for Y5/6

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:05 PM EDT

@stevethedoc1 How many students took part and did they appreciate the experience? #ASEchat

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:05 PM EDT

@YSJournal Really helps students to include research project as part of their studies, not a bolt on #ASEchat

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:05 PM EDT

@ViciaScience Couldn't agree more. I think that this is really important! #ASEchat

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:05 PM EDT

#ASEchat independent research projects less prominent in curriculum now, so rely on co-curricular time

ljrn42 Oct 3 @ 3:06 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @YSJournal time the issue esp w new exam courses #asechat

stevethedoc1 Oct 3 @ 3:06 PM EDT

@YSJournal 200 present in groups over day, all love it, staff who help do afterwards #asechat

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:06 PM EDT

Do you think that there is sufficient time dedicated to research within school? #ASEchat

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:06 PM EDT

@Newmanphysics @Bio_Joe @YSJournal This looks to me to be really challenging - is it? #ASEchat

ljrn42 Oct 3 @ 3:07 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @YSJournal as well as funding although there are grants out there . #asechat

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:07 PM EDT

#ASEchat @YSJournal Issue 17 included some Y5/6 projects, all from schools with @royalsociety partnership grants https://t.co/pjQdihkX9H

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:07 PM EDT

@stevethedoc1 @YSJournal Hi Steve - and do Y5/6 get the chance to write about their work and get it published? #ASEchat

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:08 PM EDT

@ljrn42 @ViciaScience @YSJournal #ASEchat Yes, and lots of support if you look @ResearchInSch @CRESTAwards @NuffieldFound

stevethedoc1 Oct 3 @ 3:08 PM EDT

@ChristinaAstin #asechat any chance of copies as this year we want to further develop the paper writing process

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:08 PM EDT

@ljrn42 @YSJournal When we are in a routine with new curricula I am sure we will be able to make time #ASEchat

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:09 PM EDT

Don't forget to check the YSJournal at https://t.co/43iBIBNFjC #ASEchat

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:09 PM EDT

@stevethedoc1 #ASEchat It's online!!!

stevethedoc1 Oct 3 @ 3:09 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @YSJournal #asechat sort of, we pull all their brief papers together into a 'journal' that is sent to each school

12akAnara Oct 3 @ 3:10 PM EDT

The great thing about Young Scientist Journal is that you can publish your research if you want to #ASEchat

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:10 PM EDT

@stevethedoc1 but we do print a few copies for marketing & for our student authors/editors ;) #ASEChat

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:10 PM EDT

@stevethedoc1 @YSJournal And is it documented? Would make a wonderful record for pupils and teachers #ASEchat

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:10 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @stevethedoc1 @YSJournal Explain "documented"? #ASEChat

ljrn42 Oct 3 @ 3:10 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @YSJournal yes but ATM kids are missing out as we cope with new resources etc #ASEchat

stevethedoc1 Oct 3 @ 3:11 PM EDT

@ChristinaAstin #asechat great will check it out

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:11 PM EDT

Brilliant - and to Primary Science ? #ASEchat https://t.co/AVEI4kvg3m

stevethedoc1 Oct 3 @ 3:09 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @YSJournal #asechat sort of, we pull all their brief papers together into a 'journal' that is sent to each school

stevethedoc1 Oct 3 @ 3:11 PM EDT

@ViciaScience #asechat year one group cited a previous paper, currently all informal

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:11 PM EDT

How can schools do more to encourage independent research projects? #ASEchat

stormeducation Oct 3 @ 3:12 PM EDT

#asechat tonight! I'm doing some practical #science - making a banana loaf cake for colleagues. I burnt the last on… https://t.co/tj8rtdtlqn

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:12 PM EDT

@12akAnara #ASEchat @YSJournal Yes, so if you've done research it doesn't gather dust somewhere on a USB!

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:12 PM EDT

@Newmanphysics @YSJournal @TakeOnPhysics Dave - I need to think about this - not familiar with terminology - Perhaps after #ASEchat ?

12akAnara Oct 3 @ 3:14 PM EDT

Writing an article for Young Scientist Journal is a great thing to mention in your personal statement #UCAS #ASEchat

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:14 PM EDT

@stevethedoc1 #ASEchat @YSJournal Maybe worth mentioning there are 19 issues over 10 yrs & authors & editors in 45 countries

stevethedoc1 Oct 3 @ 3:14 PM EDT

@ViciaScience #asechat interesting paper etc this year on walking in high heels

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:14 PM EDT

@ChristinaAstin @stevethedoc1 @YSJournal Ideally good if Y5/6 get their work published, but video diary could also stimulate others #ASEchat

Newmanphysics Oct 3 @ 3:14 PM EDT

@YSJournal #asechat I just had a look https://t.co/RfhE2hGJlV be seeing if my students want to report on their work with @CERNatschool

mrsjmasters Oct 3 @ 3:14 PM EDT

Evening all 😀 #ASEchat

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:15 PM EDT

@ljrn42 @YSJournal Is resourcing new courses an issue? Would research project need further resource? #ASEchat

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:15 PM EDT

@mrsjmasters Good evening! We are currently discussing what can be done to promote independent research within schools! #ASEchat

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:16 PM EDT

@Newmanphysics @YSJournal @CERNatschool #ASEchat Yes, we have partnership with @ResearchInSch including @CERNatschool

LauraP3517 Oct 3 @ 3:17 PM EDT

@YSJournal #ASEchat by providing students with the opportunity to get involved in science outside the curriculum

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:17 PM EDT

Was this research on sociology or science? #ASEchat https://t.co/Tms3svPoQx

stevethedoc1 Oct 3 @ 3:14 PM EDT

@ViciaScience #asechat interesting paper etc this year on walking in high heels

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:17 PM EDT

#ASEchat @YSJournal important that schools know they do NOT need mega-resources to do authentic research. e.g. https://t.co/P1j4m3dCcx

Newmanphysics Oct 3 @ 3:18 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @YSJournal @TakeOnPhysics #asechat Margaret and G Burbidge. 10 years to get into an observatory and then posing as assistant

mrsjmasters Oct 3 @ 3:18 PM EDT

@YSJournal I've just had a look at your site. I'll be showing it to some of my high attaining Y8s. They'll love it #asechat

ljrn42 Oct 3 @ 3:18 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @YSJournal @CRESTAwards or 6th form doing genuine research that a uni would do - or is it both #asechat

stevethedoc1 Oct 3 @ 3:19 PM EDT

@ViciaScience most definitely science, timings taken, heels measured, research on foot pressures etc #asechat

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:19 PM EDT

@YSJournal @mrsjmasters a refresher on sources of funding would be helpful for teachers.RS Partnership grants good place to start? #ASEChat

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:19 PM EDT

Does school research require more funding, or is it simpler than that - only requiring more focus and effort? #ASEchat

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:19 PM EDT

#ASEchat @YSJournal I think it's more about a dedicated teacher nurturing a student's spark of interest e.g. @SGSPhysics

mrsjmasters Oct 3 @ 3:20 PM EDT

@YSJournal we actually do a mini EPQ thing for younger students at school - this would tie in well #asechat

ljrn42 Oct 3 @ 3:20 PM EDT

@12akAnara @ViciaScience and working as editor better @YSJournal #asechat

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:21 PM EDT

@ljrn42 @YSJournal @CRESTAwards I would hope any research in school is not 'one off' so CREST seems a good place to start #ASEchat

mrsjmasters Oct 3 @ 3:21 PM EDT

@YSJournal for me, it's that my students have so much on their plates rather than the money. But slightly more freedom at ks3 #asechat

stevethedoc1 Oct 3 @ 3:21 PM EDT

@ChristinaAstin #asechat Primary conference approach created as a teacher CPD purpose, make teachers step out of comfort zone

damianainscough Oct 3 @ 3:23 PM EDT

#asechat I had a local truck building company set a task for a group of pupils - design of the battery holder. They had to research... 1/2

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:23 PM EDT

#ASEchat @YSJournal but important to publish - "stand on shoulders of giants", join community of published scientists (& help uni add!) 2/2

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:23 PM EDT

@ChristinaAstin @YSJournal What a great piece of work - certainly read that more carefully later tonight #ASEchat

12akAnara Oct 3 @ 3:24 PM EDT

At @YSJournal you can contribute to any team- production, editorial, PR... Anything you like! #ASEchat

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:25 PM EDT

For the next question - How easy is it to set up an independent research project and is the difficulty sometimes putting people off?#ASEchat

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:25 PM EDT

Remember to use the hashtag #ASEchat

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:26 PM EDT

@damianainscough Very useful, thanks. Benefits of being part of EU! #ASEchat

Sci_Sparks Oct 3 @ 3:26 PM EDT

@YSJournal perhaps time and money are the most important factors, what do you think? #ASEchat

Newmanphysics Oct 3 @ 3:26 PM EDT

@mrsjmasters @YSJournal Brilliant,chemistry department ran miniprojects that students presented well before the EPQ thankfully came #asechat

@Sci_Sparks And is one more important than the other? #ASEchat

damianainscough Oct 3 @ 3:28 PM EDT

@YSJournal Are you referring to genuine research or young people researching that which is unknown to them? #asechat

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:28 PM EDT

@damianainscough Great suggestion to involve local community and businesses #ASEchat

LauraP3517 Oct 3 @ 3:29 PM EDT

@Sci_Sparks @YSJournal check out issue 18 page 50 https://t.co/mqvLDpfFot this shows that student research can be really easy #ASEchat

mrsjmasters Oct 3 @ 3:29 PM EDT

@damianainscough good question! Huge difference #ASEchat

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:29 PM EDT

@damianainscough @YSJournal #ASEchat We publish both authentic original research (increasingly) and review articles

stevethedoc1 Oct 3 @ 3:29 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @ResearchInSch #ASEChat teacher needs purpose, for us a science week strategy, or post sats activity,

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:29 PM EDT

#ASEchat https://t.co/3Kzu5O6O41

Abbiewilson30 Oct 3 @ 3:27 PM EDT

@YSJournal I definitely think money is a barrier for most young people - most state schools can't afford lengthy individual projects

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:31 PM EDT

Great way you have of keeping science alive in primary - how far can the ripples reach? #ASEChat https://t.co/6H94lr7Pfb

stevethedoc1 Oct 3 @ 3:29 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @ResearchInSch #ASEChat teacher needs purpose, for us a science week strategy, or post sats activity,

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:31 PM EDT

@damianainscough @YSJournal #ASEchat that's great. YSJ different because all the editing, reviewing, production, web design by students

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:33 PM EDT

@YSJournal From my experience talking to a university scientist is a good way to start a project #ASEchat

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:33 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @YSJournal #ASEchat Yes, good point. Like the spider genome project at our school

stevethedoc1 Oct 3 @ 3:34 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @ResearchInSch #asechat are there rocks in that pond/tank to 'diffract' those ripples?

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:34 PM EDT

@ChristinaAstin @damianainscough @YSJournal Do students have the editorial skills before they join @YSJournal ? #ASEchat

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:35 PM EDT

@Sci_Sparks @YSJournal #ASEchat Yet in some countries they dedicate curr time to this or support students after school, e.g. Japan

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:35 PM EDT

@ChristinaAstin @damianainscough @YSJournal engaging with YSJ looks an ideal way to learn communication skills as a scientist #ASEchat

Newmanphysics Oct 3 @ 3:35 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @YSJournal @TakeOnPhysics #asechat GCSE and beyond has so much discovery and science around the origi… https://t.co/popl4uqsiE

damianainscough Oct 3 @ 3:36 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @ChristinaAstin @YSJournal And do they have the research skills? #asechat

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:36 PM EDT

@ChristinaAstin @YSJournal Tell us more - sounds fascinating. Why interest in spider genomes? #ASEchat

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:37 PM EDT

@Sci_Sparks #ASEchat That is why the teachers are so important!

ljrn42 Oct 3 @ 3:38 PM EDT

@YSJournal @Sci_Sparks not always. We have a 25 min lunch and a huge catchment area where mist kids travel an her by bus #ASEchat

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:38 PM EDT

@damianainscough @ViciaScience @YSJournal Well, we don't accept everything for publication!!! #ASEchat

stevethedoc1 Oct 3 @ 3:39 PM EDT

@damianainscough @ViciaScience @ChristinaAstin @YSJournal #asechat doesn't matter, they have the curiosity and interest, teacher can teach

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:40 PM EDT

@ljrn42 @YSJournal @Sci_Sparks #ASEchat Need to support students who want to work at home/at uni in hols, maybe remote data handling etc?

damianainscough Oct 3 @ 3:40 PM EDT

#asechat @YSJournal I must say it is very impressive! For example: https://t.co/u9kX5SS2od https://t.co/Cw0eKTysUH

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:41 PM EDT

@Sci_Sparks #ASEchat Perfect intro into our next question - Should more of the curriculum be focussed on the practical side of science

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:41 PM EDT

#asechat Should more of the curriculum be focussed on the practical and research side of science at school?

damianainscough Oct 3 @ 3:41 PM EDT

@stevethedoc1 @ViciaScience @ChristinaAstin @YSJournal How many teachers have research skills? #asechat

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:42 PM EDT

Remember to keep using the hashtag #ASEchat

stevethedoc1 Oct 3 @ 3:43 PM EDT

@damianainscough @ViciaScience @ChristinaAstin @YSJournal #asechat if not we can source them

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:43 PM EDT

@Sci_Sparks #asechat How could this be done? Is it feasible?

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:43 PM EDT

@12akAnara #asechat and how could this be done?

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:43 PM EDT

#ASEchat What's prac for? Practice? supporting theory? prep for uni? manipulative skill? Yes, but independent research offers ownership too

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:43 PM EDT

@YSJournal There is a difference between 'technical skills' as in new GCSE / Alevel requirements and skills of doing investigations #ASEchat

ljrn42 Oct 3 @ 3:44 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @YSJournal @Sci_Sparks yes - we have been advised drop practicals if ur running out of time #ASEchat

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:45 PM EDT

@ljrn42 @ViciaScience @Sci_Sparks #ASEchat do you think this has much of an impact on students?

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:45 PM EDT

Could research be examined - such as an extended independent form of coursework? #ASEchat And would this be feasible?

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:45 PM EDT

@ChristinaAstin At post 16 we do not really teach 'research' but teach 'about research'. Time for a change? #ASEChat

Alex_Choi56 Oct 3 @ 3:45 PM EDT

@YSJournal I think practicals increase understanding but does not work for all pupils #asechat

stevethedoc1 Oct 3 @ 3:45 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @YSJournal #asechat do they not need some technical skills to do this research, purpose

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:46 PM EDT

Various orgs looking at supporting sci research proj in school: @WTeducation @royalsociety @BritSciAssoc @NuffieldFound #ASEchat @YSJournal

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:46 PM EDT

Disappointing. Practicals are not separate from 'theory' but all part of learning science #ASEChat https://t.co/Wfq8LzBkMo

ljrn42 Oct 3 @ 3:44 PM EDT

@ViciaScience @YSJournal @Sci_Sparks yes - we have been advised drop practicals if ur running out of time #ASEchat

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:47 PM EDT

Should time spent doing practicals and experiments in schools be focussed more on independent research? #ASEchat

12akAnara Oct 3 @ 3:47 PM EDT

@YSJournal by including more practicals into the syllabus #ASEchat

lordpankake Oct 3 @ 3:48 PM EDT

@YSJournal @Sci_Sparks if only my school didn't have the barrier of not having a lab at all! #asechat

MichaelLHofmann Oct 3 @ 3:49 PM EDT

@YSJournal research usually contains certain elements of the same, abstact, method, results... Students Could be examined on this #ASEchat

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:49 PM EDT

@Alex_Choi56 @YSJournal or for all topics. Some need concrete observations for abstract thinking. One of many purposes of practical #ASEchat

JonScott46 Oct 3 @ 3:49 PM EDT

Science dept is one of the few areas resourced for learning by doing — should we not DO as often as possible? #ASEChat

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:50 PM EDT

Ten minutes left on the #ASEchat !!

stevethedoc1 Oct 3 @ 3:50 PM EDT

@lordpankake @YSJournal @Sci_Sparks #asechat what is a lab? A garden, a pond, a staircase

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:50 PM EDT

@MrsHennah Could more time be spent on research? This would mean less time spent preparing on exams. Is it feasible? #ASEchat

stevethedoc1 Oct 3 @ 3:51 PM EDT

@YSJournal @MrsHennah #asechat QFT gives back time from revision etc

@ChristinaAstin @MrsHennah #ASEchat Some would put in the effort, others wouldn't.

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:53 PM EDT

@ChristinaAstin #ASEchat so overall do you think independent research projects are a good idea?

12akAnara Oct 3 @ 3:53 PM EDT

@MrsHennah Research also shows the interest in the subject area-again, a great thing to include in personal statement! #ASEchat

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:53 PM EDT

@YSJournal @MrsHennah We need a balance between teaching good science, including research, and time spent on exam preparation. #ASEchat

ljrn42 Oct 3 @ 3:53 PM EDT

@ChristinaAstin @ViciaScience @YSJournal @Sci_Sparks difficult when curric time makes u choose. #ASEchat

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:54 PM EDT

Now that we are approaching the final couple of minutes, we would really appreciate summaries and thoughts on the #ASEchat as a whole.

LauraP3517 Oct 3 @ 3:54 PM EDT

@YSJournal @MrsHennah #ASEchat yes, independent research provides students with valuable skills that they cannot gain through exams

YSJournal Oct 3 @ 3:55 PM EDT

@LauraP3517 #ASEchat nicely summarised

LauraP3517 Oct 3 @ 3:55 PM EDT

@YSJournal #ASEchat the young scientists journal is a great opportunity for students to engage in science and develop their curiosity

NeedhamL56 - Moderator Oct 3 @ 3:56 PM EDT

@christinaastin @ysjournal does your organisation have links with https://t.co/3KgH61z0Lp ? looks ideal way to engage students #asechat

ChristinaAstin Oct 3 @ 3:56 PM EDT

#ASEchat Orgs shd work together to support research in schs. @YSJournal will continue to motivate & inspire by publishing work by 12-20yr

ViciaScience Oct 3 @ 3:56 PM EDT

@YSJournal I can see why editing journal may not suit all, but surely every science qualification must inc researching? #ASEchat
