What would you ask a renowned scientist if you had their undivided attention?

That is an opportunity that pupils from Frank Wise School in Banbury have had - Professor Robert Winston phoned in via video call to be quizzed by five pupils with lots of questions about science.

Why does it rain in the rainforest? How do glasses work? How are crystals made? Professor Winston answers these questions in more to make what will be the ultimate science assembly this Thursday at 10am on the Tes YouTube channel or at the bottom of this article.
