The+Great+Exhibition+2010



= = = Why This Theme? = Can the world continue to supply an infinite amount of resources to sustain human life and its development and also meet the needs of plants and creatures that we share the planet with?

Obviously it can not.

Humans are placing an enormous trust in the discoveries of science and the developments of technology to enable us to continue in our privileged role of being guardians of the planet.

Consider the words below:

On the left are items that we could consider to be resources, it is not a complete list, just ideas. On the right are verbs that could be used to describe some of the activities of scientists and technologists who are forever looking for new and better ways to manage the resources.



The reason for such activities is that in part because these resources are precious and essential for our continued existence.

You may in the future be destined to play a big part in these endeavours. The development of your expertise has already begun. Now stretch yourself by entering in one or more categories for the exhibition.

= Scientific Investigation = Explore something that is unknown to you. Design an experiment or experiments to test what you assume to be true. Do the tests, measure the outcomes and collate the data. Were your assumptions true? Write your conclusions.

= Technological Solution = Technology is about scientific knowledge applied to solving problems. Find a problem, define a solution statement, research and plan and design a solution, build a prototype.

= Scientific Journalism = Technical writing is a special skill. Ideas put together based on your own experiences and the research on the work of other people.

= Publicity Poster = Graphical display of your ideas and around science and technology. Sending a visual message.

= Photography = A photographic display of your ideas looking at science and technology and telling a story through a series of photos


 * Note - the Investigation or Technology sections are 'open'. It is not essential that they keep to the theme of "Precious Resources"
