Science Week resources for KS3 and KS4

Do you need activities and resources to enhance your school Science Week? Then look no further!

We have put together a collection of activities, careers information and resources, and we can even put you in touch with STEM professionals who may be able to come along to support your event.

All of our KS2 and KS3 science activities are free to download and share! Please note, these resources and experiments have been specifically designed to be carried out with adult supervision or direction as appropriate, and it is recommended that the instructions are followed in a safe manner. All resources and experiments are carried out at your own risk.

Our Education volunteers can be invited to bring real-life experience to your engineering related STEM activities. There are IET Education Officers and Ambassadors in each UK country who can, upon request and availability, support local schools and youth organisations

Find out more below and please do share your event highlights with us @IETeducation.
