Taking place between 13-22 March, British Science Week (BSW) is a celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths (the STEM subjects), and a great way to get kids exciting and immersed in them.

Raising the profile of these key areas of learning is an important issue for schools, as the government looks to address the UK skills gap and get more children interested in becoming scientists and engineers.

With this in mind, here's our list of key apparatus to get you experimenting throughout British Science Week and beyond:

In the midst of the celebrations, a rare and fantastic event is also set to happen, The biggest solar eclipse in 16 years will pass in front of the sun on Friday 20 March between 8.30am and 11am.

Why not take the opportunity to build suspense for the event and bring the moon into your classroom? Try installing our Illuminated Moon which can hang on the wall, and show pupils the 12 illuminated lunar phases. Our Earth and Space Poster Set is also ideal for highlighting the movement of the planets around the sun and the movement of the moon.

Don't miss the opportunity to celebrate this event - the next one won't be until 2026!

In the next few months we will be expanding our range further, with 2000 new products to help stimulate and support science learning. So watch this space!
