Posted By MT The Jeremy Vine show today on Radio 2 will be discussing the allegation that health and safety is killing science teaching in schools and apparently during the show they will be setting off a rocket in a BBC toilet. Might be an interesting show to listen to. It was listed as the 4th item they'll be discussing in the 2 hour show, so I'd guess it'll probably be on at around 1.30pm.

Posted By Jay Joshi Any media coverage of science in schools without input from CLEAPPS is likely to be one-sided and ill-informed. The reason is probably the lack of funding for proper facilities. An adequate number of fume-cupboards for the more hazardous science activities. Most distillation involve the use of hydrocarbons that are flammable substances and a fume cupboard is normally required for doing this safely.
