Hands-on science Learners can see, test, and talk about.
Why This Series Exists
So many science resources focus on reading about experiments — not doing them.
The Science Investigation Challenge Series is designed to change that. Each challenge in the series gets learners doing science: planning, testing, recording, reflecting, and improving.
No special equipment.
No overcomplicated setup.
Just focused investigations that build scientific thinking.
Every challenge follows the same structure, so once learners are familiar with one, they can tackle the next with confidence and independence.
What Makes These Challenges Different?
- They're real investigations from an award-winning educator.
- Each challenge is structured with editable planning, recording, and reasoning tasks.
- They’re adaptable across KS2, KS3, and GCSE.
- Everything comes in printable and digital formats.
- Every pack includes a certificate to recognise effort and focus.
Whether you're in a classroom, at a science club, or supporting learning at home, these challenges help learners think, test, and reflect like scientists.
