Celebrate British Science Week 2015 - Win a Chemistry Set & Handbook from The Science Museum (CLOSED)

Hello everyone!  How was your weekend, any nice wins to report?  Absolutely zip, zilch, nada for me – am now 8 weeks into the worst chest infection known to man, and it has really been sapping my efforts to comp.  Sitting on the sofa or lying in bed has been ridiculously uncomfortable due to my chest being so tight, so haven’t managed to find a good comping position to combat it yet.  Am hoping that my trip to the doctor’s today will offer some more ideas on how to combat it, and get me back my comping mojo!  Did you celebrate Mother’s Day yesterday, and if so did your little ones (or not so little ones) spoil you rotten?  I was treated to some lovely handmade cards from my girls, and hubby made us all a delicious slow cooker chicken casserole and an apple and rhubarb crumble – doesn’t get much better for me!

If you have children or grandchildren, what are their favourite subjects at school?  My youngest only started school this year, but already loves every aspect of it, especially learning to read.  My eldest is nearly 9 and is old enough to know what really interests her now, and for her it is definitely science.  She loves learning about nature and wildlife, is always asking questions about how the human body works, and loved making simple electronic circuits at school.  She was thrilled when I told her that we are in British Science Week- 13 – 22 March 2015.  All over the internet and on TV there are fantastic activities going on to celebrate the week, especially geared towards children and getting them interested in all the wonderful things science has to offer.  As a child I was fascinated by science too – I loved biology at school, was intrigued by the solar system and watched more nature programmes than I can count - things haven’t changed now I am an adult!  I still love to learn as much as I can about the world around us, and encourage my children as much as I can to have an enquiring mind and seek out the answers to questions they have via the internet, books or experimentation. 

If you and your family have a thirst for scientific knowledge too, The PrizeFinder has the perfect competition for you this month!  To celebrate British Science Week we are offering all our members the chance to win a fabulous chemistry set from The Science Museum, as well as a kid’s science handbook.  If you were to win this awesome prize you could be building a mini fire extinguisher, writing hidden secret messages or identifying chemical substances by their reaction to flame!  The children’s handbook is also filled with fun facts, activities, stickers and games to keep the little scientists in your life busy and engaged for hours. 

To enter this exclusive competition, all you need to do is tell me in the comments section below what branch of the sciences most interested you as a child, and if it is still the same today.  For me it is probably biology – I loved learning about all the weird and wonderful things our bodies can do, and am still learning today.  You need to be logged into your account in order to comment and enter the competition, one entry per person and please remember that your comments will be moderated and as such won’t appear on the site immediately.

Good luck everyone and have lots of fun during British Science Week too!
