The British Science Association has created these packs in partnership with UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).
The theme for 2023’s packs and poster competition is ‘Connections’, and the taster packs provide fun and engaging ways to introduce this theme to the children. The full activity packs contain lots of activities on this theme and will be released in January.
The next British Science Week will take place from 10-19 March and it’s never too early to start thinking about your events and activities.
If you’re looking for more activities or projects, download Fun, Family Science and check out the archive of previous packs.
British Science Week & CREST Awards
Many of the activities in the BSW packs are CREST accredited, so if you enjoy using them, why not think about running a CREST Award? CREST Awards give students real-life experience of being a scientist while getting introduced to STEM project work. They are nationally accredited and are a fun, yet educational way to get your children involved in STEM subjects.

As North West Regional CREST Support Organisation, All About STEM promote CREST Awards across the region and point schools & clubs to the support they need to run this amazing scheme. CREST Awards encourage students to work like scientists, researchers, engineers and designers to investigate and explore their own project ideas.
