Understanding British Science Week in EYFS & KS1
Let's be curious scientists and explore the world around us! 🧪🔬 British Science Week is a fantastic ten-day celebration of science, engineering, technology, and maths (STEM). It features fascinating, entertaining, and engaging events and activities all across the UK for people of all ages. Organised by the British Science Association, it typically takes place in March. The main aim of the week is to inspire and engage everyone in science, fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and a passion for discovery. Each year often has a different theme to spark imagination and guide investigations.
For early years settings, nurseries, preschools, childminders, and Year 1 and Year 2 classrooms, this week provides an incredible opportunity to introduce foundational scientific concepts, encourage exploration and investigation, promote problem-solving, and spark a lifelong sense of wonder about the natural and built world. It aligns perfectly with the 'Understanding the World' area of learning in the EYFS framework and supports early STEM education. This week offers boundless planning ideas and inspiration for hands-on activities that truly resonate with young minds, making learning about science both accessible and incredibly exciting.
Why Is Celebrating British Science Week Important for Young Children?
Integrating British Science Week into your practice with young children (aged 0-7) nurtures their natural curiosity, developing critical thinking skills, and laying the groundwork for future scientific literacy.
Fosters Curiosity: Encourages children to ask "why?" and "how?" and to actively seek answers through exploration.
Develops Inquiry Skills: Teaches basic scientific processes like observing, predicting, testing, and concluding.
Problem-Solving: Encourages children to think creatively to solve challenges, often through trial and error.
Understanding the World: Helps children make sense of the natural phenomena and technological advancements around them.
STEM Foundation: Introduces fundamental concepts in science, technology, engineering, and maths in an accessible and engaging way.
Hands-on Learning: Provides opportunities for active, experiential learning which is crucial for young children.
Language & Communication: Expands vocabulary related to scientific concepts and encourages children to describe their observations and findings.
Engaging Science Activities for British Science Week (0-7 Year Olds)
Let's become little scientists and explore, discover, and experiment for British Science Week with these planning ideas and activities perfect for EYFS and KS1 children. The focus is on hands-on investigation, curiosity, and making connections to the world around us! Many of these early years and year 1 activities can be supported by our extensive 'Science', 'STEM', and 'Understanding the World' resources.
Here's some inspiration for fostering a love of science in your setting: (Please use your own discretion and knowledge of your children to ensure appropriateness of each activity and safety concerning any materials given and activity undertaken.)
Be Curious! Kick off the week by celebrating curiosity. Use our 'STEM - 'We Are Curious' Display' and 'STEM - Banner' to create an inviting science exploration area.
Mini Investigations (STEM Challenge Cards): Provide simple, open-ended investigation challenges using 'STEM - Challenge Cards' and 'STEM - Challenge Cards'. Adapt them seasonally with 'STEM - Winter Challenge Cards' and 'STEM - Winter Challenge Cards'.

Why not use this fun farm animals and their young puzzle game to introduce your children to or consolidate their knowledge of farm animals? Cut each puzzle along the line in the middle and invite your children to match each farm animal with its offspring. Why not extend learning by discussing similarities and differences between the older and younger animals and also between the different types of animals? Extend children’s vocabulary by describing animal body parts such as tail, hooves, paws, fur, snout, etc. Ask questions such as ‘Which animal has the longest/shortest tail?’

These endless puzzles are perfect to show the cyclic nature of life cycles. For example in the first instance the frog puzzle may be placed in the order ‘frogspawn’, ‘tadpole’, ‘froglet’ and then ‘frog’. To demonstrate to children that the frog then lays frogspawn, the ‘frogspawn’ piece may be brought to connect with the ‘frog’ piece at the end and thus continuing the cycle. This process can continue for as long as you like, bringing the ‘tadpole’ piece to then end and then the ‘froglet’ piece and so on!

Have great fun with your children whilst all pretending to be dinosaurs with this set of 8 Dinosaur Activity Challenge cards. Perhaps children could stand in a circle around the pile of cards and take turns to pick one for everyone to do. Cards could equally be shrunk down and placed on a key ring to take out on adventures or featured on an indoor or outdoor display board and referred to with everyone carrying out the activity on floor space in front. Once the children get to know the cards they will be able to relate the action to the picture without necessarily needing the card read to them...For example an adult may be able to simply hold up a card and everyone will be able to do the activity together! Great for physical development, descriptive language, understanding the world and turn taking.

‘We are curious’ display to be used as part of a STEM area.
(Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics)
Children are naturally curious; born predisposed to learning about their immediate surroundings. As babies we begin to sense and explore the world around us. We embark on scientific enquiry by noticing cause and effect, repeating experiences to confirm what we have found out and exploring when something different happens to what we expect. As we develop language we ask a multitude of ‘how?’ and ‘why?’ questions to make further sense of the world around us.
Early Years settings are the perfect environment for STE(A)M development because children naturally want to play in their immediate surroundings to investigate and learn more. As early years professionals and parents it is our job to nurture this natural desire and enthusiasm and provide children with an environment which enables exploration and scientific discovery.
