Science Homework:

British Science Week poster competition 

For your homework this week, we would like you to enter the British Science week poster competition. This needs to be completed on paper. You should be as creative as possible!

The theme for 2025 is ‘Change and adapt' – there are loads of STEM topics to be explored. You could create a poster showing how plants and animals adapt to changing seasons or surroundings, or how humans have adapted to changing technology. You could look at climate change and how we can adapt our behaviours to protect the environment, or your favourite science experiment and how it shows change. The more creative the interpretation of the theme, the better!

How will the posters be judged?

We wish that everyone could be a winner, but we only have a limited number of prizes. So, here’s the lowdown on what the judges will be looking for:

• Creativity in approach – Innovative angle on the content or creative interpretation of the theme – don’t be afraid to think outside the box
• Content – Clear, accurate and informative about a STEM topic
• Effective communication – presented and communicated in an engaging way

 See last year’s winners below for inspiration!
