Biojoyversity

The term Biojoyversity was coined as a result of a Royal Society funded project carried out by the sixth form students at Simon Langton Girls’ School.

With the help of our science advisor Dr Ed Turner we designed and completed an experiment to find out if being amongst nature affected pupil’s well-being.

We discovered that self-reported happiness was significantly higher after walking through an area with high biodiversity than walking around the school field.

Biodiversity brings us joy!
