Comments in 2011:
“My favourite idea mentioned on
Sciencebook is the conception of what
climate change could be doing to marine life
and the ocean environments that cover over
70 percent of the planet. Images of the earth
from space show the vast enormity of the
world’s oceans, which are home to many
types of marine creatures. However as well
as the number of sea creatures that live
here, climate change will also profoundly
affect humans as the world’s oceans are
essential to us as they regulate our climate,
produce oxygen and remove carbon dioxide
from the atmosphere through processes
such as photosynthesis. “

“I think this is wonderful. I like the
dynamic use of speakers' words
coming across the screen not just
as subtext. I really enjoyed it as I
think will young aspirant
scientists.”

“I feel I have a duty to share with today’s students
and young people the excitement of working in
such a vibrant and interesting area … and believe it
is the responsibility of those within the industry to
promote STEM (science, technology, engineering
and mathematics) subjects to school students.”

‘We're always looking for new ways to inspire girls so when our county
commissioner forwarded the The Sciencebook Trust event link to us, we
thought it was too good an opportunity to miss as science is so important to
all of us.’
Leader of the 4th Witney Girlguides Oxfordshire UK
'One aspect of scouting is to enable our young people to explore and
develop a greater understanding of the world around us. I am bringing our
cubs along to this exciting and interesting demonstration and talk to give
them the opportunity to investigate and find out more about this
fascinating area of science. I am hoping the talk will assist the cubs in
working towards elements of their 'astromoner' and 'global' badge work.'

The Sciencebook Trust
The Sciencebook Trust (TST) aims to:
1. 1) Encourage the understanding with young people and their
wider networks about the science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) of climate change, sustainability and
innovation through the www.sciencebook.org.uk and a range of
engaging activities.
2. 2) Collaborate with individuals, organisations and young people
for the purpose of inspiring the next generation of citizens, and
their communities.
3) Develop the collaborative, intergenerational and cross sector
model of engagement and communication to the benefit of a
wide and inclusive network.
