Chairperson:Our annual Science Festival is coming up next month! As members of the Science Club, you should write a plan for the Science Festival. First, let me explain the aim of the festival and the events we’ll have.
We started the Science Festival three years ago. It aims to encourage students to take an interest in science and develop skills that may help them in their future lives.
The Science Festival will last three days. The first and most important thing you need to do is to think of a theme for this year’s festival. All events will be centred around the theme you decide on. For the first event, we’ll invite a well-known scientist to give a lecture.
Tapescript
Think about who you’d like us to invite, when and where the lecture will be given, and a topic that students might be interested in. Then we’ll have a Science Workshop, where students can try different experiments.So, you should also come up with ideas for experiments that could be done, including what equipment and materials would be needed. Finally, there’ll be a huge Science Fair. Each class can design some activities and decorate their classroom, and you should give some suggestions on how to do these in your plan.
Please send me your plan by this Friday. Next week we’ll make a final decision on this year’s theme and events. Thank you!
