It’s that exciting time of year again!
Download and access brand new resources to inspire your pupils to ask-investigate and share a scientific question. GSSfS is a unique campaign placing pupils at the heart of communicating science.
There are no boundaries to the wonderings and questions your pupils may have. Go with their own ideas for scientific questions to investigate, or be inspired by the Great Guided Enquiries which have been curated to inspire learning linked to real-world contexts and research.
Working scientifically is a skill.
GSSfS is an opportunity to review how we teach pupils the skills to work scientifically. This is an ideal time to plan for skills development in context, and use the Skills Starters and Great Science Toolkit to support high-quality learning in your classroom, and go on to inspire pupils with inspirational role models in Great Science People.
4 Great Enrichment Activities also give you resources to extend science learning into other subject areas. Link to literacy with poetry and letter writing, ponder on science and engage families and the community in club time.
What’s a science share like?
We encourage you to get started now and celebrate on the main sharing day on 11th June 2024. A science share can be anything where 2 or more pupils come together to show their enquiry to other people.
It has no limits to the amount of people who can take part. There is no defined time it should last for.
If the 11th June doesn’t work for you, simply move it to when it does! We are an inclusive campaign - you can flex the date to best suit your school timetable and commitments. More information about sharing will following in the coming weeks.
“We look forward to finding out all about your GSSfS activities over social media. It’s a year to make the greatest difference yet and we’re so pleased to have you on board.”
