Customise with picture to show where your enjoyment of science came from or was used, perhaps outside of the classroom – clubs, societies, films reading, hobbies etc. This slide can be used to show the relevance of science beyond school if possible

3. The sciences are not just a subject at school
The sciences are not just a subject at school. Being able to understand the world scientifically can also affect our lives in lots of fun and different ways. How much do you know about science?

4. STEM Quiz
Quiz q’s related to science - you can develop your own as long as they are correct
The ones in here have been used with year 12’s for careers presentations – they are quite ‘dry’ and could use some mixing up! The examples used in the LeedsLovesLanguages presentation are in the notes to this slide

17. Here are some ‘facts’ about science, can you spot which are true?
True or False
Here are some ‘facts’ about science, can you spot which are true?
Answer true or false
Hint, some may be both!

18. True or False
Find or create some ‘true or false’ questions about science, particularly your area. Were there any ‘facts; or ideas that inspired you to choose this subject?
The LeedsLovesLanguages examples are in the notes to this slide, and an example of how they Use animation is on the next slide
Languages can be dangerous!
True: Esperanto is an invented language that was banned in several countries by authoritarian regimes e.g. Nazi Germany, Soviet Union, China.
Languages can be bought and sold
True: In Vanuatu (South Pacific island) a community sold their language to their neighbours and couldn’t use it any more!
English is the easiest language to learn
True and false: It is a matter of opinion only. English has been variously voted both easiest and hardest to learn.
Eskimos have up to 400 words for snow
False: This is known as the Great Eskimo Vocabulary Hoax. There are probably no more than 15 words in fact and English has nearly that many!
Not all languages have separate words for ‘he’ and ‘she’
True: Finnish ‘hän’ covers he and she and most African languages don’t make the distinction.
We really only need to speak English nowadays
False: 75% of the world don’t speak ANY English.

20. Science Celebrities
Find some famous (and perhaps surprising?) scientists and put their pictures here with what they studied/did

21. Science and the future
How will your science skills help you in the future?
(If you have remove some of the stats from the quiz to liven it up, you can put them here – why STEM skills are important and very employable)

22. What job can I get with science?
Careers examples and statistics
BUT do emphasise the non-science careers
For example ~50% Biosciences graduates go on to do something that on the face of it seems completely unrelated to science, but utilises those key transferable skills

23. Example - What job can I get with Bioscience?
From FBS -

24. Example - What job can I get with Bioscience?

25. How is a degree structured?
Think about your audience for this one! Only year 12’s might want the details, younger year groups can focus more on the year’s abroad/in industry
3 years – Bachelors
4 years – Bachelors + Year in Industry/Study Abroad
4 years – Bachelors + integrated masters year
5 years – Bachelors + Year in Industry/Study Abroad + integrated masters year
Modules, module choices, year 3 dissertation and lab project. What does a typical week look like for you?

26. What did I choose? Customise with: What degree are you taking
What has been your favourite module and why
What has been the most unusual module/topic you have covered

27. Being a student
What do you do outside of study? Hobbies, societies, jobs, volunteering, friends etc?
Customise with pictures
Bear in mind the training here please – keep it appropriate

28. What’s next What are your hopes for next steps after your degree?
Choose some recent developments in your field that could be exciting/inspiring to a young person. Take a up a slide with pictures etc to show them. Is it an area you hope to have a breakthrough in someday?
An example from Biosciences follows on the next slide, but it’s up to you to choose a story that inspires you too

29. What can biosciences do?
Using DNA to store more data than currently exists on the planet?
Particularly in Biosciences, YOU will be at the EDGE of research
You could have an impact on the future of a medicine, bacterial test system, fuel (or brewing process….)
Unusual for undergraduate
Extremely exciting time to be in the field
Human genome project recently opened some new gates of discovery, and you can have your own little piece of it with your name on!

30. “The limits of my language mean the limits of my world”
