In the Zone: free Olympic and Paralympic experiment kits for all UK schools
Friday 13 January, 2012
In the Zone is an initiative developed by the Wellcome Trust and inspired by the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It provides a fun, free and fascinating way for teachers and students to use science to discover how our bodies work during sport, activity, movement and rest.
All UK schools will receive free science investigation kits – one designed for primary level, one for secondary school students – which will allow you to bring the science of the human body to life in the classroom.
An interactive website has been developed where you can download teaching resources including PowerPoint presentations, to support you in delivering In the Zone investigations in your classroom. Click here to visit the website.
