GCSE ‘Science Live’
On the 29th February 2016, some of my Year 10 colleagues and I attended a GCSE ‘Science Live’ event that took place in Symphony Hall, Birmingham, the event lasting from 10am-3pm. Various schools from across the country came to have the opportunity to listen to some of the World’s leading scientists, and also to listen to a senior examiner who talked about what examiners tend to look for in examinations. We listened to five scientists in total. Professor Jim Al-Khalili spoke about Time travel, Professor Lord Robert Winston about Fertility and Genetics, Professor Alice Roberts about Evolution, Professor Andrea Sella about Chemical Reactions and Dr Simon Singh about The Big Bang.
I think that everyone who attended found the event very enjoyable and it was interesting to learn about things that we may not be taught in school.
