Great Science Share

The Great Science Share for Schools is the award-winning campaign that invites 5-14 year olds to share their own scientific questions and investigations, to raise the profile of science in schools and communities, and to be inspired into science and engineering.

Themed activities and lessons are brought to teachers and educators, to inspire you to ask, investigate and share scientific questions you’re curious about.

I’m a Scientist is a safe, student-led online activity. It’s quick and easy to set up, and text-only – no audio or video required.

Book chats at times that suit you and your classes, as many times as you like. Students can check in before and after an experiment to see what new skills they have gained.

This activity is completely free for UK state-maintained schools.
