Students have been busy asking lots more sporty questions this week. Including….
The science of:
- sprinting! Student chrisandshaun asked: “People run 100m in under 10 seconds… How is this possible?“
- strength! Student spacenut asked: “How many muscles do we have?“
- doping! Student spacenut asked: “How are athletes in the Olympic games drug tested?“
And question of the week came from student harryholt123: “how long can the human body run before colapse?”
In this week’s energetic chat with St Marys Catholic School, students asked anything from “what is the best dish to improve their athletic performance?” to “how long can humans survive without trees?”
Both students and teachers got a kick out of the live chat. Student ellascientist said:
“hiya scientists, thanks alot for the great answers to our mind boggling questions”
and teacher Liz Nicholson said:
“probably the best moments today since I started teaching. The engagement excitement & motivation of students was immense”
We’ve now selected most of the scientists, so find out who’s In the Zone and when!
There’s still space for teachers to book live chats so BOOK NOW to make sure your students get to talk to the In the Zone scientists.
