3. Read a page from Sophia Collins’ blog. Why were the teenagers so involved in the classroom activity?

I’m a Scientist, Get me out of Here!

By Sophia Collins, producer of the
on-line teen science event

“It’s hometime but we want to stay and ask questions.” These are the words of a 14-year-old student, at a school in London. On that day a classroom science activity had the students so involved that when the bell went for the end of the school day, they insisted on staying for another 15 minutes to ask more questions.

The students were having an online chat with some scientists. They’d started with fairly simple questions, “How long have you been a scientist?” and “Why is the sky blue?”

But then something happened – the online chat format, the inventiveness of teenage brains, the unexpected experience of a grown-up seriously answering their questions – and the chat started getting richer. By the end of the chat this class had moved from a question about whether science could ever stop aging, to discussing what the world would be like if people didn’t die.

Live chats like this are part of the new event, I’m a Scientist, Get me out of Here! The scientists are competing for a prize of £500 to communicate their work to students and the students are voting who gets it.

Scientist
Get me OUT of here
