Join Wild Science for a week full of fun, curiosity and learning!
Curiosity.... What's the question?: British Science Week 2026 with Wild Science
This year's Science Week theme, "Curiosity... What's the Question?" provides the perfect opportunity for children to open their minds to curiosity and ask questions about the world of science. Celebration of British Science Week with Wild Science also aligns with this theme, encouraging everyone, especially children, to ask questions, explore, and find answers in science and everyday life. It links curiosity to world-changing innovations. Additionally, it fosters collaborative problem-solving in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).
Our Wild Science workshops give children the opportunity to inquire about the topics they are learning. This is true whether it involves science or animals.
Science Week is an exciting celebration of curiosity, discovery, and hands-on learning. Throughout the week, students step into the role of young scientists. They explore how the world works through experiments and unforgettable animal handling experiences. The energy, enthusiasm, and sense of wonder made it a truly inspiring week for everyone involved.
At Wild Science, we offer a dynamic range of workshops designed to ignite your passion for learning, whether it's in physics, chemistry, or biology. If you seek to explore the wonders of adaptations, classifications, and the anatomy of animals, we are here to inspire you.
Hands-On Science Experiments
One of the highlights of British Science Week and our workshops is the range of practical experiments that allow students to learn by doing. Instead of just reading about scientific concepts, students observed reactions, tested hypotheses, and drew their own conclusions.
From colourful chemical reactions to simple physics challenges, each experiment sparked curiosity and encouraged critical thinking. Students learned about cause and effect, problem-solving, and the importance of carefully following instructions. Most importantly, they discovered that science isn’t just about getting the “right” answer; it’s about asking questions and exploring possibilities.
Watch as laughter and excitement fill the room as experiments come to life. This proves that learning science can be both educational and fun.

Animal Handling Experiences
Another unforgettable part of British Science Week can be the animal handling sessions. These experiences give students the opportunity to meet and learn about a variety of animals up close. This creates a deeper connection to the natural world.
Guided by knowledgeable experts, students can learn all about animal adaptations, diets, life cycles, and the importance of caring for living creatures. They also discussed animal safety, respect, and conservation, helping students understand their responsibility in protecting wildlife.
For many students, this is a chance to overcome fears, build confidence, and develop empathy for animals. Seeing their excitement and gentle curiosity is a powerful reminder of how impactful real-life learning experiences can be.

Inspiring Future Scientists
Science Week is more than just a series of activities; it is an opportunity to inspire a lifelong interest in science. By combining experiments with animal encounters, students were able to see how science connects to everyday life, nature, and the world around them.
The week encouraged teamwork, curiosity, and a love of learning, leaving students eager to ask more questions and explore further. Science Week truly shows that science is not confined to textbooks—it is everywhere, waiting to be discovered. We look forward to building on this excitement and continuing to nurture young minds through hands-on, meaningful learning experiences.

What is British Science Week?
Science Week 2026 will take place from March 6 to March 15. The official theme of British Science Week 2026 is Curiosity.... What's the question?
British Science Week (sometimes known as National Science Week) is a 10-day celebration of science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM) across the UK. It is organised by the British Science Association. It’s an opportunity to spark interest and develop STEM skills for everyone.
The beauty of British Science Week in the UK is that anyone can run an event - on any topic, for any audience, in any venue. This means we get a fabulous mix of activities - from school workshops and community group projects to public lectures and interactive exhibits.
Whether you’re a scientist or just curious, there’s something for you to enjoy and learn.
Wild Science delivers British Science Week workshops to schools across England, Scotland and Wales. Our programmes are available nationwide, making it easy for schools, academies, councils, and community groups to access high-quality science and animal workshops wherever they are based.
Our sessions are delivered directly in classrooms, school halls, community centres, and local venues across the UK, removing the need for travel while ensuring a safe, engaging, and fully managed experience. This flexible delivery model makes Wild Science a trusted choice for schools and organisations looking to host on-site Science Week activities.
