Super Scientist Competition   

Dear Parents

In Week 5, the Year One children have been invited to present a short science experiment to their peers. The class will select the top two ‘super scientists’ and they will move forward to the Year Level Challenge. 

 Task

 

·        The children need to research a scientific concept and then deliver a short experiment on this concept to their peers.

·        Each presentation can be no longer than 5 minutes and a minimum of 2 minutes in length.

·        Children can use ICT resources such as MS PowerPoint to support their presentation, in addition to posters, charts etc. All resources must be made by the children and written in their own words.

·        Experiments should be simple to set up, demonstrate an outcome within the time limit and be SAFE.

·        Children need to explain what they are demonstrating, what procedure they are following, what happens and if they can, why it happened. 

·        I would like the children to include some information as to how their particular concept is applied in the ‘real world’. For example, if your child were conducting an experiment showing how ice will melt faster if sprinkled with salt, they could mention that countries experiencing lots of snow have to put salt on the roads in order to melt the snow quickly.

I am encouraging the children to be creative, use their imagination and have fun in preparing and presenting a science experiment on a science related topic.
