March brings London's biggest new sculpture park, time to celebrate your favourite women, the chance to grow a micro-forest, cuddle lambs and even more spring-spiration!
Dropping Science
British Science Week is a ten-day celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths that takes place between 7-16 March 2025. This year’s theme is ‘change and adapt’.
Find events across the country; a series of hands-on activities at Southampton Science and Engineering Festival, the inaugural Colliderfest; a ‘science and arts extravaganza’ in Hull, Lightfest in Sheffield - a free exhibition about light and the quantum world, and tinkering workshops in Hastings, London, Exeter and Cambridge. Plus online lessons, farm lives and BBC Teach Lives on CBBC and online.
The site also has some great resources for learning – download a free activity pack here (you’ll also find previous years’ packs via the same link) and find out more about the Smashing Stereotypes campaign here (do you have a preconceived idea of what a scientist should look like?).
It’s never to early to start boffin-ing; here are some brilliant ideas for eco-friendly science experiments for younger kids including making your own compass, an ocean in a jar and dancing sultanas!
One more sciencey reminder! Want to go to Birmingham’s brilliant Big Bang Fair in June? Home edders and teachers should sign up here now…
