Have you hosted a "Lab Olympics"? 🏅 It's a great way to make the lab part of your classroom fun and approachable! To celebrate the Olympics finishing up and do some team-building to kick off the academic year, labs around the world are hosting their own versions of a “Lab Olympics”. 👩🔬 The basic concept is to create events out of mundane tasks common in your lab or classroom, either timed or for accuracy. Just make sure to keep it safe and avoid being wasteful of supplies. To get you started, I’ve collected my favorite ideas from Reddit below: 🥇 Dry Weighing Accuracy: Without a scale, contestants must estimate 1 gram of a commonly used powder, scored for accuracy. 🥇 PPE Relay: Teams put on and take off full Personal Protective Equipment as quickly as possible, in a relay format. Great practice for a real emergency! 🥇 Parafilm Stretching: Contestants stretch a pre-measured section of Parafilm, judged on length or surface area without breaking 🥇 Liquid Measuring Accuracy: Using an unlabeled beaker, participants measure a specified volume of water, scored for accuracy or speed. 🥇 Laser Pointer Maze: Using a Laser Blox or fixed pointer, lay out several lenses or mirrors on a table to bend the laser toward a target. Turn it on to see how close you are! Have you done this yet? What are your students' favorite events?

Why Are Extracurricular Activities Important? Extracurricular activities are the fun things kids do outside of school. Like playing sports, learning music, or joining clubs. But they aren’t just fun—they help children grow in many ways. When kids do activities like these, they learn to work with others, stay focused, and get better at solving problems. It helps them feel more confident too. And these skills are useful for everything, even for their future jobs!

A QUESTION I GET ASKED QUITE A LOT: Why did I give up a good job at a world-leading sports academy to start Performance Pathways? As my role at the academy grew, I was increasingly being asked by teachers around the world where they could find resources and lesson plans for Athletics. I explored the platforms they were using...TES was terrible, with resources created on PowerPoint and the wrong technical points. YouTube was even worse, with content created for high performance athletes or teachers trying to share their ideas but with no real experience. So I created BROCKMAN ATHLETICS LIMITED to fill the void and suddenly found myself delivering workshops and providing my curriculum to schools all around the world. In a little over a year, my resources on TES have been download over 6000 times and the YouTube channel is fast approaching 500,000 views! The resources and education were clearly needed, but what I discovered throughout the journey was that most other sports were the same. Their resources are targeted at the elite or new beginners, with a huge gap in the developmental phase that most of us work in. This is where Performance Pathways was born... I aimed to create one platform to provide lesson plans, resources, and education all one place. We've pulled together a team of experts who all have experience at international level, but also understand the developmental pathways and what it's like to work within education. I'm so proud to see the platform growing week on week, with schools from 25 countries already using the resources! We'd love to have you as part of our fast growing community... Join us next week for a tour of the platform: https://lnkd.in/dharJmFj
