On 10th February we blogged about this exciting opportunity which can be used in many contexts, including to enrich the STEM Central water context.
A trickling burn, a flooded street, a horse’s trough or a grand Scottish loch – no matter what comes to mind when you think of water the Water Works competition wants your photographs. The James Hutton Institute has now announced the February winner of the competition, Louis Pasqualini, Age: 7, Ratho Primary School who has titled his picture, shown above, “The Magic Water Fountain”. Louis says “this picture was taken in my kitchen to show the power, energy and life that water brings to my house and family.” Perfectly observed Louis, and a superb image!
The James Hutton Institute’s Facebook page has more information on the February entries and how you can take part in March’s competition.

The James Hutton Institute via the Centre of Expertise for Waters are running a year long competition aimed at raising awareness of water and water-related issues across both primary and secondary ages. The competition, with monthly prizes, aims to encourage learners to think about the natural environment and make the link between CfE curriculum areas Sciences, Technologies and Expressive Arts. The competition page gives background on the competition and entry instructions.
