Reminder: Year 11 survey – facilitating access by 28 May 2021

 

14-19 Team are asking for Year 11 pupils to provide feedback about the ways they access information and prefer to communicate to inform our work with young people. Their feedback is captured through the below survey. A huge thank you to all schools who have already facilitated young people being given time to access and complete the survey in school, I do really appreciate the demands of this time of year so know how valuable your support is.

The deadline is 28 May so we’d appreciate any further support you can offer.

Please note: the survey asks young people to provide an email address, then a link is sent to that email account asking them to verify they are genuine. Their feedback only counts in the published results if they verify their answers in this way. The email address is only used for this purpose, it won’t be shared with the 14-19 Team unless the young person specifically gives permission.

The survey can be accessed at: https://haltonyouthvoice.commonplace.is

 


 

 

 

Daresbury Talking Science Family Show

 

Science of Dragons Show’ (PDF attached)

Speaker: Sue McGrath aka Scientific Sue!

Age: 5+ (with parental supervision, but children, parents, guardians, grandparents all welcome!)  

Abstract: Join Scientific Sue on this most historical and creative journey of scientific discovery. This show is interactive, therefore after registering we will send you a list of objects and ingredients should you wish to play along. And the Vikings are partying, so why not dress up as a Viking or dragon and join in with the celebration! Her fire and icy fog breathing dragons are celebrating the hatching of their latest baby, there is just one problem this little dragon can’t fly yet.

Scientific Sue will investigate and explore the science of how dragons fly and, using some of the science behind the different dragon fire types (steam, icy fog, explosive gases, flammable liquids and of course big flames and tornado type fire!) plus dragon’s disgusting digestion processes, she hopes to engineer a way which will allow the baby dragon to fly and join in with the celebrations!

Copy the following link to download the instructions and template which will allow you to train your own dragon with scientific Sue:

*Inspiration from the stories by Cressida Cowell on ‘How to Train your Dragon’

Curriculum Links: Science, Engineering plus Literacy and Storytelling

The science: Chemical reactions, combustion, states of matter, flight, buoyancy, forces, energy, digestion, tests for oxygen, carbon dioxide and hydrogen

We looking forward to your schools joining us!
