Our practical suggestions
Queensway suggests: start with a question you can measure
Look for an environmental issue at school, then ask a teacher how you could measure it. For example, under teacher supervision, compare the surface temperatures of shaded and unshaded models using the same materials, light source and exposure time. Write one page explaining what you want to measure, how you would compare the results and how many times you would run the test. Ask your teacher to help choose the right competition division.
- Does our school have its own nomination deadline?
- Which teacher can supervise us and help confirm the right competition division?
- Can we explain what we want to compare and which conditions we need to keep the same?
Contact a supervising teacher and save 16 November
Ask your teacher or school representative to check the nomination rules on the official competition details page and confirm how to submit once nominations open. Teachers and students can find the livestream through the official briefing notice. Queensway members who know interested teachers or students can share the official announcement so they have time to check with their school.
