For their Create Science Day, my son’s school did a call out to parents for them to talk about their jobs making links between the sciences and the arts. So I did an assembly this morning for 120 Key Stage 1 pupils to flag up jobs in museums & galleries that include science, and how the focus on STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths) should become STEAM (STEM subjects plus the Arts). There was lots of interaction including a colour mixing quiz and guessing what some paint pigment colours are made from, such as carmine (dark red) coming from cochineal beetles!
