To celebrate the International Year of Light the Institute of Physics in Scotland is running a competition for primary and secondary schools. The challenge is for pupils to tell a story about light through a poster and a supporting essay. 

There are three age groups: primary, S1-3 (BGE) and S4-6 (senior phase).

The aspect of light that pupils have to explore varies across the age groups and full details on the competition, including the format of the poster and detailed curriculum links, can be found at: www.iopscompetition.org.uk
