Puppet Show
Science Communication, 2010/11


Activity 3

Design and present a Puppet show about a Science Topic

 

In your groups, decide on a science topic for your puppet show; then write down the concepts you will be explaining.
Decide to which audience (age group) you will be presenting the show and then choose your puppets and start to structure the show, writing down only the important narrative.
 
Note: beware of "big words"! If you have to use them, explain them.

Remember to involve the audience!
