What is the purpose of the Science Activity Challenges?

• To get students interested in and working on a series of sciences activities
• As the activities are well within the capability of average students, they:
  – encourage student initiative
  – provide a tangible reward (certificate with stickers)
  – don’t involve teachers in a lot of extra work

How does it work?

• Students choose which one of four activity sheets to start with:
  – Pondering on Plants (The Living World)
  – Tantalising Toys (The Physical World)
  – World of Water (The Material World)
  – Weather Watch (Planet Earth and Beyond)
• Stickers are placed by the teacher on each activity sheet once it is completed by the student
• A certificate is given once all four activity sheets are completed
