The Collegiate Science Magazine

The December 2024 edition of Curiosity- the science magazine written, compiled, and edited by the wonderful young minds of Riddlesdown Collegiate. Our Science Ambassadors across Year 8 to Year 13 have worked incredibly hard every step of the way for the last two months. They all have shown diligence, resilience, and professionalism in partaking independent research, planning, and writing the articles, attending meetings for initial feedback and meeting deadlines before final submission!

I hope you enjoy reading the articles. In this issue, we have tried to focus on the real-life applications of science and the unique challenges of twenty first century world. There are articles on the recently held COP29 summit in Azerbaijan on how microplastics are affecting marine life to forensic anthropology and the unique chemistry of the flavour of food and scents in perfume to name a few.
