British Science Week full activity packs
The free British Science Week activity packs are filled with a wide range of fun and educational activities, created by us and our partners, with the support of UK Research and Innovation. They include resources suitable for children from under 5s up to around age 14, as well as activities designed for community groups.
The theme for 2026’s packs will be ‘Curiosity: what’s your question?’.
These packs will be released in January 2026, and will provide fun and engaging ways to introduce this theme to children and young people.
CREST
The packs also include a wide range of fun, hands-on activities, and loads of useful information about running CREST Awards, British Science Association’s flagship STEM education programme. Many of the activities are suitable for CREST Awards, so if you enjoyed 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.
