Science Sharing with new audiences
What’s a Great Science Share?
A time for pupils to ask, investigate, and share scientific questions through practical activities—whether in lessons, a special science day or week, or at an indoor or outdoor event.
What makes the Great Science Share unique is that pupils become the science communicators. It’s their moment to shine—and your chance to see their confidence and creativity in action!
What’s a science share like?
A science share is when two or more pupils come together to show their enquiry to others. It can be big or small, short or long—whatever suits you.
Most will take place on Tuesday 17 June 2025, but you can choose a date that works for your school.
It’s a simple, celebratory activity that can happen anywhere—classrooms, halls, museums, gardens, even football pitches!
How do we share?
After pupils investigate their scientific questions, it’s time to share! This means talking about their science—ideally with peers.
Pupils are the key communicators in the Great Science Share, making it a unique experience.
Sharing lets them: – Explain their question and findings
– Describe their approach
– Show how their enquiry connects to real life
– Ask questions of others

In the Great Science Share for Schools campaign, we encourage everyone to share science learning across our global community. If you’re involving young people in practical science investigations – then share them with us using social media.
“Our Science Share is when we bring our cluster of schools together. We put tables out in the school hall or on the playground in good weather. Children from each school bring the equipment and put it on the table. The activities are repeatable and children talk about their enquiry and what they’ve found. They also get inspired by so many other children sharing theirs! It’s just great!”
Be inspired by these Great Science Shares!
