#prisci – @WL_STEM: West Lothian STEM

We are running a competition for all P1-P7 pupils across West Lothian Council to design a new logo for our twitter and glow pages.

Children can complete this in class or send as a home learning task. If children can create their logo and write about “what stem means to me”, take a good quality photo of the design and wording- then send it to @WL_STEM on twitter (if a home learning task) or if completed in class email to nicola.connor@westlothian.gov.uk. Please include the child’s name, school, class and age. Prizes will be:

1st Place- Logo used for twitter/glow and a Sphero Bolt for using at home (kindly donated by RS Components)

2nd Place- Signed by the author- a book by Caroline Allison “Build it! 25 Creative STEM projects for budding engineers” (Kindly donated by Caroline, through her web site http://www.technologyforfun.co.uk/)

3rd Place- An airzooka (Kindly donated by the SSERC Primary team)

All entries to be received by Friday 11th September at 2pm. The entries will be judged and the winner will be announced on Friday 18th September, the winner’s logo will then be used on all WL STEM pages and resources.

The Primary Science Teaching Trust is working with Spectrum Drama and St. Mary’s University to create opportunities to meet past and present scientists and to learn more about people who do jobs that use science.

Science at Work consists of weekly activity sheets about scientists and people who work in a science-related job. Children are encouraged to send in their questions to the scientist who will answer as many as they can in a video released the following week. Videos can be viewed through Primary Science Teaching Trust’s Facebook page. NB: if you are unable to access Facebook, you can view the video here.

Key things you need to do to take part…..

Every Tuesday we will release an activity sheet – these can be downloaded from this page or sent straight to your inbox by signing up to their mailing list.
Click on the SEND US YOUR QUESTION tab and complete the form to submit your child’s question and/or upload their drawing by 3pm on Thursday the same week.
Click attending on the Facebook event.
The following Tuesday watch the video – just follow this link and don’t forget to download the activity sheet for the next week’s scientist.

Use this format in a weekly learning grid and ask your class to send in questions or complete the activity sheets.
