Science Fair - Science and Communication English

Courses Description

Head of Pathway:

Wanna do experiments? Wanna see how real science actually works? Not just on paper, but through real life practical work? This is the module for you!

In this module you will do three different science experiments, each linked to real life events and systems. You will get to be a real scientist, conducting scientific work in the lab. 

At the end of the module you will select one of your three experiments and present it in a science fair. You will have to create a powerpoint, speak clearly and confidently, and convince people your results are important! 

This module will have a Young Kelstonian Scientist of the Year Award - Could this be you???

Join the science fair, put on your lab coat, and get your hands dirty.
