"On words" — the language of student science

BNR's weekly programme "On words" hosted Sci-High to discuss the language students use to describe their science — and the gap between "writing for a grade" and "writing up a result".

In the weekly programme “On words” on the “Hristo Botev” channel, dedicated to language and its uses, Sci-High talked about an often overlooked tool of student science: the language with which an experiment is described, a hypothesis is formulated, and a result is defended in front of an audience.

In the conversation:

  • Why “writing for a grade” and “writing up a project” call for different skills — and which of them schools tend to drill.
  • What happens the first time a teenager has to explain to an unfamiliar adult what they investigated — and why this is harder than the investigation itself.
  • Specific editorial decisions Sci-High introduces in the run-up to the festival: short titles, clear hypotheses, real answers to “what if we’re wrong?”.

Exact air date — to be confirmed by the editor.
