‘Connections’ Challenges

In March 2023, we set Falkirk schools a a set of challenge tasks for British Science Week 2023. This included a range of activities, puzzles and quizzes they could complete on their Connected Falkirk devices to celebrate this years theme of ‘Connections’. Find out more about the challenges themselves and the fabulous results below.

To kick off British Science Week, our Education Support Officer Lauren McKechnie and the Falkirk STEM Officer Victoria Paddon hosted a Live Teams Session open to all schools in Falkirk. The session involved the pupils completing an Only Connect Wall where they had to find the connection between various STEM-related terms/ phrases. Following this, they began to complete the CREST Award ‘Confusing Cans’ experiment using the Measure App on their Connected Falkirk devices to calculate the distance the cans travelled.

Other Challenges

Alongside the live session, we also launched 5 other digital science activities for pupils across Primary and Secondary settings to get involved in. Each task was linked to the theme of ‘Connections’ in some way.

📢#BritishScienceWeek begins this Friday📢

How many of our @ScienceWeekUK Digital Challenge Tasks can your class complete?🤔

With 5 spectacular science activities🧪and a live session with @MrsPaddonSTEM available, we can't wait to help you make 'Connections' during #BSW23

💡Idea
Secondary teachers 📢 For Halloween why not get pupils to do the #MarkupMagic Challenge as a quick starter and get them to design a costume specifically related to your subject or current topic? 👑🏃📖👩‍🎤

Thank you @ConnectedFalk for your 🎄⛄Festive Creative Activities Live Launch!🎅🏼🎁 We had great fun taking part in the Kahoot and then "seasonifying" objects using the mark up tool. Even Toby 🐾 was seasonifyed. More pupils will be getting involved in future lessons. #IWBStech pic.twitter.com/u22LlBhkC1

P5/6B had fun with the editing tools on the iPads. Making inanimate objects into characters had everyone laughing 😁 @ConnectedFalk @DPSMrsBrownP6 pic.twitter.com/lkDmQfcKEh
