GET INVOLVED BRITISH SCIENCE WEEK
British Science Week is happening in March - and it's about time! Don't worry though, it isn't actually late.
"Time" is this year's theme. Time is key to so many STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) discoveries. The movement of planet Earth explains why we have different seasons over the year, and why we need time zones.
Microsecond accuracy keeps our computer systems ticking and helps global positioning satellites to provide us with precise location information. Evolution helps us understand how plants and animals changed over a long period of time. In fact, knowing how far light travels in one year helps us work out the size of the universe.
The week hopes to raise awareness and spark enthusiasm for STEM subjects. There will be lots of events across the UK, including special school activities. Perhaps you have some events planned at your school. If so, please let us know what you are doing. British Science Week kicks off on 8 March and runs until 17 March. Visit britishscienceweek.org to find out what is happening in your local area.
