What on Earth? How about organising a Science Event based on the planet?

Budding scientists from South Devon can get in early for the next National Science and Engineering Week, which is taking place on March 12-21, 2010.

The theme this year will be Earth, which is something we can all get our teeth into, so to speak

And the broad subject matter of ‘Earth’ and means your project can related to all science subjects (engineering, biology, chemistry, physics, maths and social science).

Some of the scientist week suggestions are: Earth’s amazing phenomenon – wild weather, volcanoes, northern lights; Earth and it’s wildlife – mass migrations, strange creatures, biodiversity; Earth’s place in the Universe – space travel, planets, satellites; or People and the Earth – climate change, biofuels, booming populations, world food production

And it also links in to the International Year of Biodiversity. Joined up thinking, ehh?

Funding is available for organisations wanting to organise events. A maximum of £2,000 can be applied for and applications are due by October 8 2009.

See the ESCR Society website for more details
