Simple. Beautiful. Science. 🧪

My N5 Lab Science class tried a drop of fluorescein solution added to glue under UV light, followed by a drop of detergent to give a nice glowing fractal pattern. Video is 3x speed. Thanks Tommy Technetium for sharing this eye catching activity!

Great night for stargazing. Milky Way seen overhead. Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moons observed using telescope and the Northern Lights visible in the north with the Plough constellation above the green glow. #northernlights #auroraborealis #dornoch #scotland

How kind. Always celebrate the people who do turn up vs being annoyed there aren’t more people in the room.
