ISZN’s Science Podcast, The Critical Angle, is back with its second episode, continuing the momentum built during Science Week.

This latest episode focuses on curiosity, a theme explored across the school. Science Ambassadors spoke with both students and staff, asking a simple but powerful question: what does curiosity mean to you?

Their answers offer a range of perspectives – from ideas about asking “why” to more experienced reflections on exploration, discovery, and connecting ideas in unexpected ways. The episode captures how curiosity shapes the way science is approached and experienced across ISZN.

They also explored how curiosity can be developed over time. When asked how to build it, our science teacher Ms Cook shared: ‘Ask questions and listen. Be curious about people. Everybody has something to offer and a different story.’

Students lead and bring new voices into the conversation

The Science Ambassadors once again played a central role in developing the podcast. They prepared questions, interviewed students and staff, and supported the full production process, building on the experience of the first episode.

This episode builds on the strong foundation of the first, bringing a wider mix of student and staff voices into the conversation. This time, the conversation feels more confident and refined, with a stronger mix of student and staff voices.

Michael, one of our student ambassadors, took a leading role in both the production of the episode and the interviews themselves. His commitment and effort are clearly reflected in the way the interviews are structured and how smoothly the episode flows from one voice to another. His commitment and effort are clearly reflected in the quality and flow of the final result.

To support the launch, students have shared posters across the school to raise awareness of the new episode. The podcast has also been featured in the school newsletter, encouraging families to listen and engage.

The Critical Angle continues to offer a window into the science happening at ISZN – one question at a time.
