The National Scientific Thinking Challenge take places during the last week of April (Mon 24th -28th), during a 50 minute science lesson. It has been devised for year 10 students and all entries must be pre-booked via the following webpage - https://updates.warwick.ac.uk/form/nstcsignup2023

The challenge uses multiple choice questions and can be completed at any time during the week. Students have to look at data, graphs and text and make deductions, spot trends, suggest hypotheses and identify anomalous results.
