In
an endeavour to lift the profile of Science across the school and get
the students enthused about all things ‘sciency’, we have a fun
competition
in mind. Participation and enthusiasm is our key objective here.
OVERVIEW: This competition has three stages.
Stage 1: Each student will research and present either a short science experiment or report on a science related
concept, to their class. The class will assess the presentations and select their top two ‘super scientists’.
Stage 2: The selected two students will then have to present (again) to ALL the students and teachers in that
particular year level, along with an admin representative, who will then choose their year group’s #1 scientist!
Stage 3:
Finally. We celebrate our top 6 scientists by getting them to present
their report or experiment to
the entire school, at a giant Science assembly. We will also award
prizes to all students who made it through each stage of the process.
WHAT CAN THEY CHOOSE TO PRESENT? The students can choose their experiment or report from any of the four conceptual
strands: Biological Science, Chemical Science, Physical Science or Earth and Space Science.
Each presentation, whether it be a report or experiment, can be a maximum of 5 minutes in length.
Students
can use ICT resources such as PowerPoint presentations (or similar) to
support their presentation, in addition to posters,
charts, etc.
Experiments should be simple to set up, demonstrate an outcome within the time limit, and be SAFE.
The internet is, of course, a great resource.

Due date: All science experiments and presentations will be presented during Week
6 (Week beginning 30 May).
On Friday,
13 May we spent time researching experiments in class. The majority of
the students
chose an experiment to present and they have printed a copy of it and
have taken it home. If there are any queries please come and see Miss
Dagostino.
