This article details the journey taken within a school from the use of writing haiku as a science lesson starter through to the publication of a collection of over 400 science haiku. The process required close collaboration between the science and English departments, the coordination of English and science lessons focusing on the writing and editing of science-themed haiku and the involvement of every 11- to 15-year-old student at the school. A student editorial team oversaw the project and Sciku: The Wonder of Science in Haiku was published by Icon Books in November 2014.
