The ESRC Festival of Social Science is a week-long nationwide festival which celebrates the social sciences. Taking place each autumn, the Festival offers a fascinating insight into some of the country's leading social science research and how it influences our social, economic and political lives - both now and in the future. You may be surprised at just how relevant the Festival's events are to society today. Social science research makes a difference.
Breakdown of the science timetable, pupils are working on a crime scene and the Sscience involved with solving a murder in year 9. Year 7 pupils are finding out about the Science in the home, using everyday items to complete some scientific experiments. There is also a trip to the Manchester Science and Industry museum for member of the STEM club. There are special assemblies with science demonstrations for year 7, 8 and 9. Talks are also being held for seperate scientists to discuss careers in both Science and engineering.
Oxfordshire Science Festival is an opportunity for people right across the county to engage with the cutting edge research that is taking place, right here on our doorsteps. In 2013 we had 133 events which attracted around 30,000 people. We covered the whole county, from Henley to Burford, and from Didcot to Banbury. In 2014 we're planning to be even bigger, with the return of the "Wow! How?" Science Fair, and the first ever "ATOM!" a new two day climax to the Festival in Abingdon. OSF has events for people of all ages and levels of interest.
