TES Science is going to help learners doing their GCSE exams by setting one challenge a day until the day of the last Science exam on the 24th May. These challenges will be sent through Twitter using the hash-tag #tesSciGCSE and we are hoping you and your learners will engage with this exciting daily challenge.
Taking part is easy:
1) Follow @tesScience
2) Search for #tesSciGCSE and save that search
3) Read the #tesSciGCSE challenge that will be posted each day
4) Reply to the challenge by tweeting your answer including the text #tesSciGCSE in your tweet
What’s in it for me?
If you are a learner, this is a great opportunity to do some revision wherever you are and any time during the day and you could win a £25 book voucher, if you answer most challenges correctly!
If you are an Educator, you can get involved by letting your learners know about this challenge and offer to moderate one of the days of tweets!
How does it work?
It is pretty simple. The people who are moderating the challenge will check your tweets and favourite the best answers, as well as sending probing questions back to help you learn your topic better. The person that gets favourited most wins the book voucher!
So, who’s in it? The first challenge will be issued on Tuesday 8th May 2012 and we will focus on Yr10 GCSE Science. Spread the word!

Sounds like a really exciting project, Alessio – great idea for using social media for creative learning! We at Science and Plants for Schools will make sure we spread the word.
Hi. Just about to start the tesScience revision challenge with my Y10 group but wanted to check that tha content is suitable for Edexcel units C1 and P1? Thanks. James Henderson
It will be! Today though the challenge is about Adaptations of Plants. We will post a challenge for either Chemistry or Physics tomorrow.
Thanks,
Alessio.
