British Science Week: secondary activity pack (2024)
This activity pack provides a range of activities that promote cross-curricular learning, so that STEM can be linked to other curriculum subjects and to student's own backgrounds, lives and interests. It has been designed for British Science Week 2024 on the theme of 'time'.
Activities are suitable for students to complete in any setting, either in school, a club, an organisation, or at home with their families.
Get students talking about what time means to them. How do they tell the time, and how does it differ from the way their parents or grandparents told the time? What about things that go very fast (the fastest animals, ways of travelling) or very slow (plants growing, building cities and large structures)?
Activities in the pack include:
- Make a rollercoaster faster
- Plant growth and nutrients
- Sustainable transport futures
- Biomagnification in food chains
- History of the universe
- How much rain
- School journey
- How to accurately measure time
- Time chamber
- Seasons tellurium
- Telling the time by the stars
- Hours, minutes and yoctoseconds
