Sample Question
Do you love science? (10) ……………………… Here at the Science Institute we recognise the importance of people like you to the future of technology and every year we hold a nationwide competition to discover young inventors of the future; people who will shape our future lives. It doesn’t matter whether you’re 11 or 18. There will be prizes for a range of different categories, depending on the type of invention and the age of the entrants, but the main prize will be for the best invention by a team of young scientists on a particular theme. (11) ……………………… Last year, it was ‘Clothes of the Future’, and the winners were a team from Blackhill Secondary School who came up with a new thermal material that would retain heat, even in the coldest temperatures. This year’s theme is ‘Transport’. (12) ……………………… You might have an idea for a labour-saving device to use in an existing means of transport – in cars, on a bike, on a plane, etc. Alternatively, you may think of a completely new way of getting around altogether. Now, that would be interesting, wouldn’t it? Whether your invention is big or small, we want to hear about it. The first thing to do is to form a team at your school and discuss your ideas with your teacher. (13) ……………………… The ideas must be your own. Then, hand in your ideas in writing, showing the processes you went through and your reasons for developing this particular project. We need to receive your idea before the 2nd April. All entries will be examined by a team of experts and the best one will be chosen by the end of June. (14) ……………………… . The winners will be invited to a prize-giving ceremony at the Ritz Hotel in London on the 15th August. The first prize is an amazing opportunity for the winning team to travel around the United States using every possible form of transport in existence! Last year’s winners spent a month on a station in the Arctic to see for themselves how their special gloves worked in such freezing temperatures. ‘It was the chance of a lifetime,’ said Pam Parker, one of the lucky team. ‘We had a wonderful time and I’ve come back with so many ideas. (15) ……………………… You never know what you can achieve until you try!’ So, start thinking, and we look forward to receiving your entries. For more details, go to our website.
