Year 8 science club are going to attempt to complete one of the activities in the Genius Inventions pack to gain their Bronze CREST awards.

We have designed a fantastic scheme especially for National Science & Engineering Week called "Toes For Turf". The science behind fingerprints is well known. What is not so well known is the science behind footprints or "feet prints". This activity enables students to take, classify and "lift" both fingerprints and foot prints. As the research on footprints is meagre, this scheme will allow students to make some discoveries about the correlation or otherwise between fingerprints and feet prints.

We will be running a science club for children from the junior school for 8 weeks before science week. Children will be working on projects designed by local scientists and making posters to show what they've done. A competition will be held and prizes will be given for the best posters and projects. During science week we'll have a science day for the whole school. Local scientists will come to the school and we'll have science themed activities all day.

A week of fun filled activities exploring science and engineering through the theme 'Inventors and Inventions'. The children will take part in the K'Nex challenege, visit the museum of science and industry in Manchester, complete science quizzes and competition, find out about a class scientist through research in ICT and conduct their own investigations linked to their class scientist. The week will start with a carousel of activities for parents and children and will end with a whole school assembly where each class will share there work with the rest of the school.
