In collaboration with Classroom Secrets, the Picture News team are hosting a brand-new live assembly to celebrate Science Week 2026, including a real experiment! Together, we’ll explore fascinating ocean depths, and reflect on the incredible biodiversity of our seas. The Live Assembly will show the team at Classroom Secrets conducting a real experiment! Using everyday household items, we’ll create a miniature ocean in a jar and discover the different zones of the sea, the creatures that live there, and how they survive in extreme conditions.
