Here at My Science Club HQ, we were blown away by how popular our British Science Week Great STEM Quiz was earlier this year and the feedback was so positive! So, we thought we would do it all over again for the summer…
We now know how much you all love a quiz, whether it be to create teams, work together, have fun, test knowledge or just a little bit of healthy competition, we hope our quiz will be a great addition to your summer term plans.
Why not make use of our brand-new bespoke Summer STEM Quiz 2025 as part of your Science Club, in classes, at home or as part of your Great Science Share for Schools (GSSfS) celebration on 17th June?
Once again, the quiz is made up of three rounds of twelve questions aimed at 8 – 12-year-olds. Questions have been tested for suitability and to ensure there is the right level of challenge and diversity. There are rounds on General STEM, Natural World and Earth Science.
Running the complete quiz, including marking each round, should take about 60 minutes, if that’s too long you can pick and choose which rounds to use and an individual round should take about 20 minutes to run.
Questions have been chosen to test a wide range of knowledge and, in many cases, can be the starting point for further discussions or a launch point for a topic or investigation. All questions are multiple choice making it open an accessible to have a go at an answer without any prior knowledge of the topic.
There are a number of different ways to run the quiz:
- In your science club or classroom with children in pairs or small groups.
- Across a number of classes in an age phase with children in small teams.
- Across different age phases with children in mixed age group teams.
- Across a number of different families live online at home.
- Across a number of schools to crown the ultimate STEM champions.
Paul from My Science Club tells us how he has run quizzes like this in the past:
“In my local authority I’ve run quizzes for 25 primary schools (70 classes) to take part in. Children will work in teams in their classes, share their score through an online form and I then announce the ultimate STEM Champions at the end of the quiz.”
The complete quiz, 36 questions and answers, is available to download here and FREE as a PDF
