Big Science Event

Joining in will give pupils the opportunity to work as a team, to develop communication skills, to focus on scientific enquiry skills, to work independently and to make their own decisions in a challenging and motivating context.

Pupils run their own investigations between January and March 2010 and produce posters about their discoveries. The winning entries go through to a prize giving day hosted at Science Oxford Live. On this celebration day they will exhibit their posters and take part in exciting science activities.
