British Science Week is a ten-day celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths. It will take place between the 6th to 15th of March in 2026, although many schools choose to participate outside of this timeframe. The theme for 2026 is ‘Curiosity…what’s your question? Schools and nurseries across the UK will be encouraging their young people to think about this theme, how it affects their lives and to use it to explore science in the world all around them.
Our BSW2026 resources have been created by Molly Potter – one of Bloomsbury Education’s best-selling children’s and teacher’s authors
“This year’s science week resources explore curiosity and questions and how they can be the driving force behind scientific enquiry! There are ideas for how to use your hatching kit to trigger curiosity and how to use scientific procedure to answer the questions you can become curious about! Have fun being curious!” – Molly Potter
Whether you are an educator of EYFS, KS1, KS2, KS3 or KS4, we’ve got you covered with packs tailored to each age group.
