Help us to celebrate science in Oxfordshire schools. Following on from the success of last year’s Big Science Event, we are delighted to offer your pupils the opportunity to once again join in this county wide event by carrying out a scientific investigation of their choice.
This year’s Big Science Event is sponsored by Playforce UK.

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.
