This week our triple science Y10 students had the opportunity to take part in the National Scientific Thinking Challenge this is an online quiz that has been written by staff from
Warwick, Southampton, Bristol, Newcastle, Manchester and Oxford Universities.
The questions are decoupled from the GCSE curriculum; they have been created by taking 6 current areas of scientific research and development and presenting the students with data and information for them to interpret and analyse. This really gave our student to use the transferrable science skills that they have developed over the last four years.
Students marks will be ranked and those in the top 10% are awarded Gold, the top 25%, silver and the top 40% bronze certificates later this year.
Well done to all of our students who took on the challenge and showed off their fantastic thinking and analytical skills.
