British Science Week 2025 – ‘Change and Adapt’ the Official Theme
We are thrilled to announce the Official Theme for British Science Week 2025 is ‘Change and Adapt’ (and information on this and Kick Start Grants below) 😊
The Official Dates for British Science Week 2025 are 7-16 March 2025.
Look out for our ‘Change and Adapt’ MNS Themed Science-Day Workshops – from ‘Adaption!, ‘Super-Slime’ and ‘Our Diverse Planet!’… What’s more, ‘Change and Adapt’ as a theme offers a huge range of options to delve into as part of your Mother Nature Science British Science Week 2025 activities.
Please find the official BSA BSW25 ‘Change and Adapt’ Theme description below:
“Change and adaptation is all around us:
Changing and adapting plays a big part in science; you can find examples in every area of STEM. Cities, towns and other areas where people live change and adapt as the world’s population grows, plants and animals change and adapt to their surroundings to survive. Technology has changed exponentially and adapted to our new, busier lives (or have we changed as technology has developed?). For example, phone technology has changed rotary home telephones to smartphones.
Our behaviours change too – we need to change how we consume the world’s resources to offset the worst effects of the climate crisis, and adapt our lifestyles to reduce our impact through recycling or reducing waste.
But change and adaptation doesn’t just happen here on Earth, even the stars and other celestial bodies change as they gain and lose mass. Perhaps there is life on other planets that adapts as their environment changes.
When exploring this theme, we can also consider how attitudes to STEM and the people who do it have changed and adapted. Perceptions of scientists are changing and we need to keep adapting our thinking until we can no longer picture a ‘stereotypical scientist’ – anyone can be a scientist.
Change and adaptation is often a good thing, but not always! A topic we have all become more familiar with in the last four years, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is viruses and how they adapt to better infect and multiply within their living hosts. This can be scary, but understanding this behaviour allows scientists to develop the most effective vaccines and other treatments.”
Mother Nature Science have Topics to fit any science week theme and you can find out more about these here
We’d love to hep your pupils work out what ‘Change and Adapt’ means to your School and how you will reflect that in our Science-Day Topics, so please do get in touch and we can make planning science week 2025 hassle free and one that your Pupils will remember forever!
