Science Communication, Group N

You may choose any school to present your science show to, but please keep the following in mind.

• The school must be a secondary primary school.
• The school should preferably be a previously disadvantaged school, a township school or a under-resourced school.
• The ‘science show’ is best presented to learners in Grades 5-7, otherwise they might not be able to understand the “science”.
• The ‘science show’ should fill at least one lesson, normally this is 30-40 minutes.
• If possible choose a school close to the area in Pretoria in which the learners in your group live.

A list of schools visited since 2002 is available from your mentor.
 

Brainstorm with your mentor to decide on a theme for your ‘science show’. Compile a list of possible 'tricks' and decide you in the group will do what.
Apart from the theme find a story to tell so that you are able to link the individual demonstrations of the ‘science show’. Get ideas from fairy tales, African legends and nursery rhymes. All of these have a lot of 'science' hidden in them.

Note: No explosions, no ‘tricks’ that need fancy props and no liquid nitrogen demonstrations.
 

Practise the ‘science show’ …

Have a plan B ready should something go wrong or some group members be absent on the day …
