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.
The Challenges
Live Teams Session
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.
