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...

Astronauts are required to put many objects and devices together as part of their missions. Some of those are small objects that astronauts must manipulate during their stay at the International Space Station (ISS).

In this activity, teams of students will assemble a puzzle as quickly and correctly as...
