The use of different types of signals is hugely important in all areas of healthcare. Signal processing engineers are involved in everything from extracting information from the body’s own electrical and chemical signals to using wireless signals to allow search-and-rescue robot swarms to communicate with each...

Promoted by the British Science Association, the annual British Science Week aims to celebrate all sciences and their importance in our everyday lives. It provides an opportunity for people of all ages across the UK to take part in science, engineering and technology events and activities.

This collection...

British Science Week, organised by the British Science Association, is a celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths.

This collection contains activity packs on a variety of topics at secondary level. Each activity pack contains a range of activities, which may be used in class, as part of a whole school science week or in a science club. The activities are hands-on and designed to engage children in a fun, yet stimulating way....

This resource pack is aimed at ...

This resource pack aims to be your ‘one-stop-shop’ for supporting you during British Science Week 2018, but it can be used at any time. The theme for the 2018 British Science Week is exploration and discovery, encouraging young people to think about everyday discoveries and how they affect their lives by exploring...

In developing this pack, the British Science Association has looked for activities which break down the stereotypes surrounding science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) and that promote cross-curricular learning, including some suggestions on remote engagement if you are unable to accommodate visitors...

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 students's own backgrounds, lives and interests.  It has been designed for British Science Week 2023 on the theme of 'connections'.

The activities included...

 These materials look at three possible projects that relate to sustainable travel.

* Communications project - students gather information and explain about ‘green’ transport policies, reducing and offsetting carbon footprints.

* Practical project - students investigate how to compare carbon dioxide...

In this activity students design and model a robot arm in 2D, need to be able to name the main parts of a robot arm and to be able to design and make a 2D card model of a 3D product. Robot arms are an example of a programmable system. They are used in a wide variety of industrial applications, ranging from loading...

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and technology (IET), focuses on the design of a tessellated product and preparation for manufacture. The resource is designed to allow students to:
• be able to analyse a design brief
• be able to generate...

The CREST Awards scheme is the only nationally recognised accreditation scheme for STEM project work for 5-19 year olds. Around 40’000 students in the UK gain CREST Awards every year through investigations and enquiry-based learning, supporting them to solve real-life STEM challenges.

Benefits of...

By the British Science Association, the CREST Awards help students to tackle science with an investigative approach. This case study describes how Queen Katherine's school science club have become involved with a local engineering company.

The company supports the club by involving them in research and...
