Schools get In The Zone!
Schools get In The Zone!

In the Zone science investigation kits are now in UK schools and colleges – open yours today!

The Wellcome Trust posted free kits which include scientific equipment, teaching resources and experiments to UK schools and colleges in Spring 2012. Inspired by the London 2012 Games and mapped to the science and PE curricula, In the Zone kits contain activities and investigations to help teach the science behind sport for students aged 4–19.

If you'd like to check how the project fits with the science and PE curricula, see the matches here if you are a primary teacher and here if you are a secondary teacher.

To introduce the project to your pupils, try one of the In the Zone assemblies:

For primary schools: In the Zone Primary assembly or BBC World Class In the Zone assembly

For ages 11-19: BBC World Class In the Zone assembly

“In the Zone is a great way to translate the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games fever into genuine learning.”  Sir Steve Redgrave CBE, Five-time Olympic gold medallist
