‘Connection to science’ campaignWe’ve asked people who are involved in science why they think it’s ‘for them’. Science doesn’t appeal to everyone, so we wanted to share some different perspectives to get you thinking about your connection to it. Delve into the campaign to see if you already have one. Chances are, you do! | |
 | I’m a ScientistI’m a Scientist is a student-led activity, connecting students with a diverse range of scientists from different specialisms and backgrounds. Students explore the profiles of scientists taking part, connect with them in live, text-based chats and ask in depth, follow-up questions. Students see themselves as scientists by asking the questions that are important to them. Suitable for students aged 10 to 18. |
 | BBC TeachBBC Teach have collated a wealth of science resources for Primary and Secondary pupils on their website. Choose from videos featuring Sir David Attenborough, Fran Scott and Dick & Dom to entertain your class! |
 | Social mediaEach year we encourage people to share their activities on social media. Why not have a look for inspiration? We’re on X (@ScienceWeekUK), Facebook (@ScienceWeekUK), Instagram (@britishscienceassociation) and across the hashtag #BSW25. |
