Science fact of the week

Each Wednesday, Science Teacher Mrs Eastham will provide an extract relating to a topic and ask pupils to find an interesting fact about this topic or person. The challenge is open to pupils in Years 7-10 and the winner will be announced the following week.

Thank you for all the really interesting facts that you found out over the last week relating to the Space X programme. The science department has voted for the most interesting fact and the winning fact was from...

Henry S in Year 7 (H6) who told us ...

"During a pre-flight on 26 May, it was revealed that the astronauts ate steak and eggs before take-off. It's believed that a tradition is to eat steak and eggs before lifting off, apparently many have done the same in the past!"

This week's fact is about a scientist called Rosalind Franklin. What interesting facts can you tell me about her?  

Email your fact to Mrs Eastham at v.eastham@priory.lancs.sch.uk with 'FACT OF THE WEEK' in the header. Deadline the next Tues, 16 June.  Winner announced on Wednesday. Good luck!
