Cambridge learners in Denmark devote a day to science

30 April 2012

Science Day, NGG International School, Denmark

NGG International School in Denmark devoted a day to science recently, offering students a chance to think creatively about science and take part in a wide range of scientific experiments and activities. They designed the Science Day to support their Cambridge science curriculum, which is offered at both Cambridge Secondary 1 and Cambridge Secondary 2 stage.

The day began with a senior scientist talking to the students about global warming and climate change. Then the students showcased a range of experiments and exhibits - on topics including global environmental issues and the human body. Each class gave a presentation at the end of the day, receiving feedback from four judges.

Archana Painuly, Science Teacher at NGG International School, said the day had really brought the students together: "Science Day gave the children the opportunity to work in groups, give presentations, try out experiments, show off their talents, skills and creativity, and learn from each other. As a teacher I could see so much energy and enthusiasm in students, and so much learning taking place."

Students declare Science Day a success

Students at NGG International School now want Science Day to be a regular event. They particularly enjoyed hearing from a scientist and working in groups. Here is what they said:

"My favourite part was when the scientist talked about carbon dioxide rising and the planet getting warmer, and the consequences of global warming. I think we should do something to save our planet." Kristoffer, 6i 

"I really enjoyed Science Day and learned a lot about so many new topics. What I enjoyed the most was the Grade 9 memory test and their vinegar and baking powder bombs. We got to be very creative."   Maia, 7i   

"I gained a lot from Science Day - learning to talk to an audience, as well as the scientific part. It was an amazing opportunity to put scientific theory into practice." Tor Memhave, 9i
