Super Scientist

AIM: To promote interest in Science and develop Scientific understandings, with an oral language focus.

WHAT IS IT? A competition from Yr 1- 6, where all students give a 2 minute science based presentation. This presentation can take the form of an experiment.  The experiment does not have to relate to your current science topic. We are looking for the students to not just show us a cool science experiment, but be able to explain the science behind the experiment, and explain it to their audience in an enthusiastic, detailed manner.

There are three ‘levels’ to the competition, which will culminate in an overall winning student from each year level, who will then present their demonstration to the whole school, at a special assembly.

By the 31st of May, each classroom will determine 1-3 students who are their ’top’ presenters. This means that, over the course of 4-5 days, all students deliver their presentations to the class, and the teacher will assess each presentation and work out the finalists.

By the 7th of June, we select an overall ‘Year Level’ winner. This involves ALL the Year 3 classes getting together while the class finalists deliver their presentation for a second time. The Yr 3 teachers then make a decision who the overall Yr 3 winner is.

The final stage is the whole school assembly, where we celebrate the individual winner from each Year Level. Each winner gets to present their experiment to the entire school. We then hand out certificates to all class finalists, and give a special certificate and prize to the overall winners. The exact date and time of this assembly will be determined at a later date.
