This summer we get creative with some colour chemistry, learn how to raise caterpillars and butterflies, dissect some owl pellets and learn how to work safely with micro-organisms. There's also details of some free CPD from the Getting Practical programme and some of the more interesting calls to the helpline.

This issues introduces a range of activities to investigate colours and a booklet from Froglife with tips for encouraging wildlife in ponds. We give an overview of a new guide studying microorganisms in primary science and making sundials to support teaching the orbit of the Earth around the Sun.
