Indigenous Science Network
In the spirit of Reconciliation, we acknowledge the Yidindji and Yirrgandji peoples as the traditional owners of the lands around Gimuy (Cairns) Queensland Australia, where the Indigenous Science Network Bulletin is prepared. We also acknowledge and pay respect to the past, present and future Traditional Custodians and Elders of other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and all First Nations peoples across the world. We celebrate and promote the continuation of their cultural, spiritual and educational practices.
The Indigenous Science Network originated from a meeting in Darwin (Australia) in 1998 for people attending the Australian Science Teachers' Conference (CONASTA) and the conference of the Australasian Science Education Research Association (ASERA) who were interested in Indigenous science. It has expanded to include people from all over the globe and includes academics, researchers and classroom practitioners.
The Network is a web-based exchange of information and ideas. The bulletins are now produced every three months and have been archived at the website. Occasional notices about the Network are distributed to members between bulletins by e-mail. Membership and access are free and to be put on the e-mailing list ….

CLEAPSS, a consortium of local educational authorities in the UK
CLEAPSS was founded in 1965 by the, then, Greater London Council in order to promote high quality, effective practical work in science. CLEAPSS has been doing this continuously for nearly 50 years. Very quickly after being founded, other local educational authorities requested access to CLEAPSS services on behalf of their schools. CLEAPSS became a consortium of these local educational authorities and at present the consortium includes all but two of the local authorities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Coordinator: Mark Linkson
Email: IndigenousSciNet@yahoo.com
Aims of the Indigenous Science Network
Originating from a meeting in 1998 of science educators and Indigenous community members in Darwin, Australia. We agreed that there should be a central place for Indigenous knowledge in any science curriculum. We have grown to cater for scientists, educators and Indigenous community members from across the world
To promote First Nations science, teaching and education
To support all educators who would like to improve their knowledge and understanding of indigenous science and how to access and use it in their teaching
To involve Indigenous scientists, educators and community members who support the inclusion of Indigenous knowledge in teaching science and are open to dialogue and sharing about their own experiences.
…
We have a great issue with two submissions from members looking at efficacious pedagogy for Indigenous students, one based in a Canadian university teaching chemistry remotely, and the other in Australia considering the use of Kriol to enhance understandings in Yr 11 high school biology. Big thanks to Michelle Hogue and Genevieve Firmer for allowing us to share their valuable and important stories.

Dear members -
Good morning. Here is NAEE's latest round-up of news:
An unwelcome CO2 milestone – The Met Office is predicting that the annual average CO2 concentration will be 416.3 parts per million (ppm) between April and June 2021. This will be 50% higher than 278 ppm that existed in the late 18th century when the industrial revolution began. The Met Office says that It took more than 200 years for levels to rise by 25% and now just over 30 years to approach this 50% increase. The annual peak will (as usual) be followed by a temporary fall in concentrations as forests and other ecosystems absorb the gas during the northern hemisphere growing season. From September onwards, however, the CO2 level will resume its upwards trajectory. More detail here.
Missing lynx – The UK’s largest landowner is helping fund a study of public opinion into the release of the lynx in parts of Scotland. Scotland: The Big Picture, a charity that promotes re-wilding is working with two other conservation groups, Trees for Life and the Vincent Wildlife Trust, says that lynx would help regenerate woodland by reducing the population of roe deer which browse on young trees, and stunt their growth. It is thought that there is enough suitable habitat and prey in Scotland to support about 500 lynx. More detail here of both support and opposition, and FAQs here.
28 trillion tonnes of ice – Sufficient ice to cover the UK to a depth of 100 metres has melted from the world’s glaciers and poles since the mid-1990s, and the rate of loss is accelerating. The 28 trillion tonnes was lost between 1994 and 2017, and the annual melt rate has increased by 65% over that time. In the 1990s the rate was 0.8 trillion tonnes / year rising to 1.3 trillion tonnes / year in 2017. The increase in ice loss has been caused by a rise in the average temperature of the atmosphere [ +0.26C ] and oceans [ +0.12C ] since 1980. A report in The Cryosphere is the most comprehensive study of global ice loss, and was carried out by researchers from the Universities of Edinburgh, London and Leeds.
The Economics of Biodiversity – the launch of The Dasgupta Review takes place on Tuesday 2 February, 1400-1515, hosted by the Royal Society. We’re invited to join Professor Dasgupta, Dr Venki Ramakrishnan and guests to hear about the Review’s findings and what they mean for economic decision-making. You can sign up for the event on the Royal Society’s website here. Audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions. You are encouraged to submit questions in advance – as well as throughout the event – on Sli.do here.
UK Coal mining – There is controversy in government about the planning approval granted for a deep under-sea coal mine off Whitehaven which will produce coking coal for steel-making. Those responsible for COP26 are said to be embarrassed and angry, though there will be 500 jobs created in Cumbria. Whatever the carbon rights and wrongs of this it draws attention to inescapable issues: should we mine our own coal or import it? That is, should we bear the carbon cost ourselves or let another country do this? Should we perhaps stop making steel ourselves and just import what we need? This would reduce our carbon footprint significantly, but make no difference to the amount of CO2 released globally. It would export jobs though. Maybe we should we stop using steel altogether and get round the problem? Either way, environmental educators will surely welcome a real controversy – a wicked problem – to explore with their students.
National Plant Monitoring Scheme – Do you know your buttercup from your butterbur? Plantlife says why not join volunteers across the country putting their botanical skills to use by taking part in the National Plant Monitoring Scheme and contributing to the government’s Biodiversity Indicators. This sounds like a great thing for schools to join in with. More detail here.
Science education and the climate emergency – To mark COP26 in November, School Science Review is producing a special issue foregrounding the role science education in responding to the climate crisis. If you are involved in science education research or practice, we invite you to submit papers which might examine local and global dimensions of the climate emergency, the ways in which science education can help people anticipate and respond to the impacts of climate change, and the role science education plays in meeting UN sustainable development goal 13 (Climate Action) and the target of net zero by 2050. The deadline for submissions (of 3000 words max) is 1st September 2021, with a decision due by 28th October. All accepted articles will be peer reviewed and those accepted will feature a response from a youth panel. For more information or to submit, see this form or contact Lynda Dunlop (lynda.dunlop@york.ac.uk) and/or Lizzie Rushton (elizabeth.rushton@kcl.ac.uk).
The latest ecological research – The British Ecological Society [BES] has a new series of free online talks on the latest ecological research. You can now register to watch the 25 minute talks live or catch up later on our YouTube channel. They will be broadcast on Zoom every Thursday from 4 March to 20 May 2021. BES and the Linnean Society are running an online conference for students on 4–5 March exploring career pathways, skills sessions and showcasing research. Tickets are available now and you can register today.
WWT home learning hub – This has been designed to support both teachers and parents with key parts of the science and geography curriculum. You will find a learning programme, covering all science and geography topics relating to nature and wildlife at KS1 and KS2. There is also a range of shorter activities and quizzes that can be dipped into at any time. These include ‘make it activities’ with instructional videos showing how to make everything from a mini pond to a water cycle in a jar. The resources can be accessed here.
Children and permaculture – There’s a new course for school & nursery teachers, forest school leaders, nature kindergarten teachers, parents and other educators to learn how to engage children in all aspects of permaculture, learning from nature with a child-led approach. This is led by Lusi Alderslowe and Nim Robins. Running over 3 sessions: Monday 22nd, Wednesday 24th and Friday 26th February 2021 0930 – 1330. Full details and booking here.
The Rights Respecting Schools Award – The next DERC seminar is on Feb 9th when Sarah Hamilton & Frances Bestley (UNICEF) will assess the impact of the Rights Respecting Schools Award, the best known and biggest initiative promoting rights-based approaches in UK schools, with over 5000 schools involved. Human rights education expert Hugh Starkey (UCL Institute of Education) will then provide a response. This Zoom-based event is free to attend, but please register in advance here.

There's a lot going on in this week's email, including a key evaluation report on our long-term work around the importance of practical science, as well as a host of events for both primary and 11-19 educators. I'd also urge you to take a look at some of the excellent exhibitor sessions from our recent online Annual Conference, and, for those working in 11-19 education, there’s a call to share your views on Ofqual’s proposals around this summer’s GCSEs, AS and A-Levels...

Good Practical Science Evaluation - how we've made a difference
As anyone familiar with the ASE will know, we have long been champions of the Gatsby Charitable Foundation’s Good Practical Science report, which provides a framework for good practical science in schools and colleges. At the heart of their recommendations is that all schools should have a policy document explaining the purposes, outcomes and methods of using practical science in their teaching - and that the process of producing the policy is as important as the policy itself.
The ASE’s Making It Happen project supported Benchmark 1 (planned practical science) in the report by producing resources for use by science departments to help them consider different aspects of writing and reviewing a policy for good practical science. The resources were released in 2019, and last summer we spent considerable time evaluating their impact, the findings of which are presented in a new report.
We encourage all members to take the time to read the document, and reflect on whether its findings could be relevant to your school or college...
Free maths tools to enhance your online biology lessons
This free secondary teacher CPD event - on Wednesday, 3 Feb - focuses on using Desmos to support teaching the mathematical content of biology courses. Teachers will get the opportunity to create their own online activities for students, including card sorts and data analysis. They will also discover many pre-made activities which they can take straight to their lessons.
The session is designed for biology teachers but will also be useful for all teachers of science. We are delighted to be running this event in partnership with the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP), as part of the ‘Mathematics for Biology Teachers’ project (MfBT), with support from the Department for Education.
Explore Explorify with our brand new primary workshop series
We've teamed up with the Wellcome Trust to bring our primary members a brand new series of free workshops to explore the wealth of Explorify resources, which are designed to make #PriSci teaching easier - especially during lockdown.
Join us to find out more about the brilliant bank of FREE high-quality image, video and practical activity resources, which were developed by educational experts to ensure they are curriculum-linked and low-prep, to help develop your pupils' thinking skills easily.
Standing on the shoulders of giants
This workshop - on Wednesday, Jan 27 - will introduce the ideas behind a upcoming primary resource that aims to engage children with how historical scientists worked scientifically to advance scientific understanding, using that as a context for children’s own questions and enquiries and making links with contemporary scientists to show developments over time and build science capital.
FREE "Bitesize" Exhibition Recordings now available to all
One of the highlights of every ASE Conference is the exhibition floor, where delegates get the opportunity to meet the leading suppliers of science education products and services, and find out about their latest offerings. Obviously, thanks to circumstances, we had to take a different approach to conference this year, with the action being moved into the online space. We worked incredibly hard with all of our exhibitors to bring delegates a new format - a line up of "bitesize" and longer key partner sessions throughout the conference to mimic the experience of browsing and talking to the representatives at stands in previous conferences.
A large proportion of those "bitesize" sessions were recorded, and are now available for everyone - both delegates and those of you who didn't get the opportunity to join us online - to view at your leisure for a limited time...
(And if these sessions have whetted your #ASEConf2021 appetite, don't forget you can still sign up to watch all of the key sessions - and more - as part of a special #ASEConf2021 video pass.)
