@asober We will be launching our @astro_timpeake inspired #RocketScience club this week with Year 7! @RHSSchools #asechat

@educake can confirm this is great fun #asechat #STEM
asober - Moderator Mar 28 @ 3:08 PM EDT

@ViewFromClass these are really cool and kids can add their own commentary, so great activity for formative assessment too! #asechat

@asober totally forgot it was Monday! #asechat
doc_kristy Mar 28 @ 3:09 PM EDT

@asober usual, Crest awards, Y7 science club, used to have an advanced chemistry club run by a v senior colleague but stopped now #asechat
asober - Moderator Mar 28 @ 3:10 PM EDT

@gavinsmart That sounds great #asechat
doc_kristy Mar 28 @ 3:10 PM EDT

@asober currently have a science journalism group (not really a club) and starting one for science book reviews #asechat
asober - Moderator Mar 28 @ 3:10 PM EDT

@doc_kristy Crest awards are very valuable activities for learners. Do you run them with older kids too? #asechat
gavinsmart Mar 28 @ 3:11 PM EDT

@asober Seeds will be delivered to school on 18th April, First day of Term 5! #asechat https://t.co/akCYR8CTyI @astro_timpeake
doc_kristy Mar 28 @ 3:11 PM EDT

@asober difficult with older ones due to number of hours needed, they often have lots of other commitments, volunteering, sport etc #asechat
asober - Moderator Mar 28 @ 3:12 PM EDT

@gavinsmart @astro_timpeake exciting #asechat
asober - Moderator Mar 28 @ 3:13 PM EDT

@doc_kristy true, but gold awards for students taking science is really good for UCAS too #asechat
doc_kristy Mar 28 @ 3:14 PM EDT

@asober it is definitely but such a balancing act, esp for aspiring medics etc who have lots of work experience to get on top #asechat
asober - Moderator Mar 28 @ 3:15 PM EDT

@doc_kristy have you heard of @ChristinaAstin and the Young Scientists Journal? https://t.co/RGuhRBAuG5 might be of interest #asechat
ljrn42 Mar 28 @ 3:15 PM EDT

@doc_kristy @asober do u know about @YSJournal ? Might fit with journal club #asechat @Sci_Sparks is chief editor
asober - Moderator Mar 28 @ 3:16 PM EDT

@ljrn42 @doc_kristy @YSJournal @Sci_Sparks snap :-) #asechat
doc_kristy Mar 28 @ 3:16 PM EDT

@asober @ChristinaAstin yep, one of our bio teachers is heavily involved with it #asechat
asober - Moderator Mar 28 @ 3:17 PM EDT

@ljrn42 @doc_kristy @YSJournal @Sci_Sparks I am juggling #asechat moderation and putting kids to bed, including bath, so quite chuffed ;-)
doc_kristy Mar 28 @ 3:17 PM EDT

@ljrn42 @asober @YSJournal our sci journalism group is more general interest sci comm rather than journal, for public audience #asechat
doc_kristy Mar 28 @ 3:18 PM EDT

@ljrn42 @asober @YSJournal @Sci_Sparks entering sci comm and sci journalism comps #asechat
asober - Moderator Mar 28 @ 3:20 PM EDT

@doc_kristy @ljrn42 @YSJournal @Sci_Sparks great way to run science clubs :-) #asechat
collaborat_ed Mar 28 @ 3:21 PM EDT

Is anyone running/participating to Citizen Science projects as Science Clubs in their school? #asechat
doc_kristy Mar 28 @ 3:21 PM EDT

@ljrn42 @asober @YSJournal @Sci_Sparks fab, I have a good little group now, we aim to take over the sci comm world ;) #asechat

This is not a panacea. #asechat
anhalf Mar 28 @ 3:26 PM EDT

great engaging physics of g in @guymartinracing wall of death @Channel4 #asechat if he stays on I feel a project coming on good luck Guy
ljrn42 Mar 28 @ 3:40 PM EDT

Would be interested to hear of any other experience of successful clubs. #asechat What makes them work in your opinion?
asober - Moderator Mar 28 @ 3:47 PM EDT

@ljrn42 fostering curiosity, exploration beyond the N/C and solving real problems are all elements contributing to great sci clubs #asechat
ljrn42 Mar 28 @ 3:50 PM EDT

@asober agree totally. Was going to try using some of @JulieBrown01 ideas to restart club #asechat. Short winter lunch hours are an issue
asober - Moderator Mar 28 @ 3:51 PM EDT

@robsciencedu it is challenging :-( In Malaysia it is compulsory for every teacher to contribute to a club in their subject #asechat
asober - Moderator Mar 28 @ 3:55 PM EDT

Last five minutes of #asechat on science clubs. I leave you with this https://t.co/daaqZTttbQ How to teach kids to love science!
