Collaborate with another class or school so pupils can share their evidence from investigations.

Open your doors and get outdoors to observe and ask questions about the plants, animals, buildings, biodiversity and nature.

Navigate your way through the curriculum, making cross-curricular links. Science connects to learning across the curriculum. How can other subjects inspire questions?

News and media are ideal ways to inspire questions. Support pupils to find out about what is happening locally, nationally or globally.

Elaborate on investigations that pupils have done before. Ask the pupils to go back to an investigation that they have done before and gather more evidence and explore new questions.

Community and culture offer lots of opportunities to link with people and places near you. Which groups or organisations can support your Great Science Share for Schools? Florists, art galleries, museums, recycling centres, zoos, libraries…

Think about the personal skills and capabilities you wish your pupils to develop. Teamwork, communication, creativity, problem-solving. Working scientifically gives chance for this too!
