In an effort to encourage more individuals to become science teachers, the government is turning to YouTube for its latest propaganda campaign.
As part of a new scheme called Your Science, the Training and Development Agency (TDA) has created a channel on YouTube designed to combat the boring image of science teaching.
The channel will showcase a series of science teaching experiments in UK schools, including a fireball of instant whip and the use of a "screaming jelly baby" to demonstrate how energy is derived from food.
According to the TDA, one of the experiments will be "carried out on a massive scale" at the agency's teacher recruitment events next year.
The government hopes to recruit an additional 6,600 science teachers to the profession over the next two years.
