Hallowain't III: Vampire squid from hell

...out they're not vampires, they're also not really squid, either. Vampire squid sit alone as their own order, sharing features with true squids and octopus. Vampire squid have the largest eyes of any creature on earth (proportionate to their size), which makes sense when you figure where they live - at the lightless depths of the oceans. 600 to 900 metres beneath the...

Why does it matter that the Sun's core rotates faster than the surface?

...out what’s inside the sun – you can’t send a probe inside to fly about. The trick is to use seismology in a similar way that earthquakes are monitored. It’s possible to work out what’s inside the Earth under our feet, right to the core, without digging, by measuring how “seismic waves” (vibrations from earthquakes) pass through the Earth. We know from this...

How can we stop science, engineering and technology losing talented women?

...out to discover what universities and government could do to change this situation. Although there are some similarities with other sectors and with employment in STEM industries, the committee was particularly concerned about academic careers, mainly because this is where scientists and other STEM professionals are trained. It is also where women are most likely to drop...

Basic science: understanding experiments

...out experiments at home and making scientific observations. You will carry out simple experiments to extract the DNA from fruit or vegetables, observe osmosis in action and bake a potato to destruction! You’ll also investigate how different liquids behave when frozen and how much water an everyday food item contains. As you carry out these experiments you will develop...

...Burn and Hagger, 2008, p. 78). As you aim to provide appropriate challenge, research shows that effective practice should include: the development of knowledge and expertise in a progressive and systematic way (da Cunha, Batista and Graca, 2018) ensuring that guidance and support is provided (Lofthouse and Thomas, 2017) taking a collaborative and co-enquiry approach....

Sustainable Scotland

...out of the earth, something else renewable must be substituted as compensation. The extreme of this idea would be not to take anything out of the earth at all, but that would perhaps be a little unrealistic. If there is no decline in natural capital, then the sustainability is seen as 'strong'. If natural capital can have human-made capital substituted, then that is...
