Great to see these science ambassadors sharing their skills with others 👩🏽🔬🔭🌗ClevesCross Science Ambassadors already to share the fun and their learning at the school's open day. #ogdentrust #LorraineCoghill #DocReSearch #originaldrpete #_BusinessDurham
I had a lovely day today working with Year 1 and 2 children in the sunshine 🙂KS1 had fantastic fun with our chair of governors and resident Science expert, Jenny, today. They donned white lab coats and used natural dyes from ingredients such as red cabbage and coffee to paint. They also added acid and alkali solutions to see how they would react!
Do you (or someone you know) challenge stereotypes in the job you do? Do you have links with North East England?
I’m working with Lorraine Coghill at Durham University to create an activity for primary school children to discuss gender stereotypes and showcase different jobs.
We are looking for people we can use to create pictures and a short fact file about their jobs. If you would like to be involved, please fill in this short survey about you and what you do forms.gle/2XfjKFSMitHyeqxs8
Please share. We would love to include a diverse set of people of different ages, ethnic and social backgrounds and different types of jobs.
Thank you

Dr Jenny Search (DrReSearch) and Lorraine Coghill (Durham University) are planning to make a resource for primary schools to challenge perceptions about the types of jobs that people can do. We want to produce a set of pictures of people who have links with the North East (current or past) who are d...I had a great afternoon hearing about the Women of Tyneside project today. I was invited to speak about the Inventor in Residence programme I did last year at the Discovery museum and also about some of the gender balance work I do with the Institute of Physics. The quote I'm holding is from a 13 year old who took part in the Women of Tyneside project. You can see some of more quotes on their twitter feed @WomenofTynside Women of Tyneside . #InternationalWomensDay
I recently worked with two Y4 classes to introduce their new topic Electricity. We made some basic circuits and then used squishy circuits to investigate different ways of making circuits, different components and different ways to connect them up. They also had the opportunity to get creative with their squishy creations! I returned to the school a few weeks later and they’d made a fantastic display on what they’d learned so far
