dc.description.abstractIn 2003, the South African Department of Education released its National Curriculum Statement for Schools, Grades 10–12 (General), for Life Sciences. The curriculum emphasises that scientific skills are best developed within the context of an expanding framework of knowledge. ESKOM Expos for Young Scientists (i.e., science talent quest competitions) provide such a context. The present study focuses on educational outcomes of selected 2007 Expo participants, namely, scientific skills (that is, process skills, scientific inquiry, problem solving and critical thinking skills) and Life Sciences knowledge, as well as on the opportunities the Expos provided for the students to develop such educational outcomes.en_ZA
