Their research explored the fascinating question: **“Does biodiversity make you happy?”** Armed with data, enthusiasm, and a well-rehearsed presentation, the team impressed an audience that included scientists from the **Natural History Museum** and several universities. The children even created an interactive activity to demonstrate their work. As one pupil explained, *“We showed everyone how we took people’s pulse in different environments. They couldn’t believe that being in a high-biodiversity area actually made your heart rate slower!”* Visitors were genuinely intrigued by the team’s discovery — that being surrounded by nature can help you feel calmer and more relaxed. After lunch, the young scientists joined a lively **science trivia quiz**, featuring eight challenging questions — including, surprisingly, one about a potato masher! *“That one really got us thinking,”* laughed one of the pupils afterwards. The day ended with a fascinating talk from the Royal Society’s **Library and Archives Team**, who shared how the Society was founded all the way back in **1660**, making it an incredible **365 years old**. Tired but inspired, the group caught the train home from Victoria, full of stories and new scientific facts to share. A huge **thank you** to **Mrs Dennett** and **Mrs Pearman** for accompanying the children and making the day possible — and congratulations to our budding scientists for representing the school with such confidence and curiosity!
