Accumulate a total of 26.2 miles as a team, an individual or as a family... it is up to you! We suggest the children run as a group to reflect this distance. 

Tim Peake ran the 42km (26.2mi) distance int three hours, 35 minutes wearing a harness over his shoulders and waist to keep him in contact with the...

In this activity children are challenged to design and make a robotic arm to grab things from a distance. The challenge is based on robotic arms on the International Space Station used to move heavy equipment or perform delicate tasks. Children will:

• discover relationships between the length of a...

British Science Week is a ten-day celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths that will place between 8th and 17th March 2024. The theme for 2024 is ‘Time’.

Time is key to so many discoveries in science, technology, engineering and maths. Evolution looks at how plants and animals changed over a...

This activity pack provides a range of activities that promote cross-curricular learning, so that STEM can be linked to other curriculum subjects and to student's own backgrounds, lives and interests. It has been designed for British Science Week 2024 on the theme of 'time'.

Activities are suitable for...

ESA Climate Detectives is a school project that is open for students from the ages of 8 to 19. Teams of students, supported by their teacher, are called to make a difference by identifying a climate...

This resource, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, explores magnetism and how it is used in a compass. It is aimed at key stage 2, but the activities would also be suitable for introducing magnetism to key stage 3.

Astronauts are required to put many objects and devices together as part of their missions. Some of those are small objects that astronauts must manipulate during their stay at the International Space Station (ISS).

In this activity, teams of students will assemble a puzzle as quickly and correctly as...

Perform multi-joint weight-bearing exercises such as body-weight squats for lower body strength, and push-ups to develop upper and lower body strength. Push-ups should be done with arms extended (but not locked), and level with the chest. Students who cannot do standard push-ups should begin with bent-knee push-ups...

In this activity students will design a kit for the first Moon-based football team. They will discuss the problems associated with playing football on the Moon, then will then sketch and label their design idea for a football kit that can be used to play football on the Moon. Students can self or peer-assess their...

This collection of case studies show how a wide cross section of educational professionals use and find inspiration from STEM Learning's digital resources.
