Science competitions

[Curtainpots]

Does anyone know of any science competitions for ks3 children?

As a teacher, or individual parent?

Individuals

That makes it much harder, you could do the CREST awards, where the kids do projects and enter them for different levels https://www.crestawards.org/

Depends on your definition of science ... we did the National Cipher Challenge with my DS at that age, but it's maths/coding rather than pure science: https://www.cipherchallenge.org/

Thank you. I’ve signed up for the crest awards but they look quite complicated to manage from home. Less into the maths /coding side but I’ll show him.
I’ve found a British science week poster competition butt that’s not open until next year.

I hope your dc enjoy them, if i run across anything else will post it

@Curtainpots was it specifically competitions you were interested in, or courses/events too? If the latter, then it's worth signing up to the Royal Institution mailing list. They do some good activities for childrenwithin commuting distance of central London.

Also, the annual NPL Water Rocket Challenge is good fun: https://www.npl.co.uk/water-rockets
