British Science Week students quiz the teachers

To mark British Science Week, Year 12 students Liuba, Ellie and Genevieve turn the tables on their teachers - Dr Nasser, Mr Lawson, Ms Struebing and Miss Bahd - in a lively reverse quiz. Their thoughtful questions open fascinating discussions on consciousness, toxicity, the possibility of alien life and future STEM pathways. A brilliant showcase of student curiosity and scientific thinking.

Key topics:

1. The elusive nature of consciousness in animals, robots, and humans
2. What makes substances poisonous and how doses affect toxicity
3. Possibility of life elsewhere in the universe and recognising alien life
4. Pathways into STEM careers and the role of GCSEs, A Levels, and work experience
5. Redesigning the science curriculum to focus on skills and curiosity-driven learning
