Fresh from publishing our first bio-engineering paper and coming second in the UK National Finals of the Scalextrix4Schools, we've been asked to give the Royal Society a hand!
We are forming a Junior Science Book judging panel to help award the prize for the best science book. I need a team of six scouts to form a review committee. It sounds a bit boring and schoolsy... sitting in the library writing book reviews with a teacher??? Very dull... So we do it differently!
The panel will each lead on one book and will come back with one experiment they've been inspired to do by the book, and then we'll test out how well the book inspires us to do science! In the past it has lead to making jet engines and rockets, volcanos, open heart surgery, cryogenic freezing and revivication, burning ice, smoke bombs, seven league boots...!!!
Sign up with Pete to register your interest in joining this team - I expect we'll have three or four meetings, you need to READ THE BOOK!, and we'll need to plan a troop night. We also have to fill out some review forms and prepare a press release.
Oh - Congatulations to the Engineering team on achieving a CREST Silver award! A nice bonus - you've done the work and submitted to external judges so no need to fill out the CREST student form even (just need to pay me £8 to send on...)
