How many BA activity packs do I need for my students?
You only need one pack. The activities can be photocopied and used with as many students and classes as you like.

How do I apply for awards?

Use the award application form included in your BA activity pack. If you haven’t got one or would like a new form please .

What is the cost of awards?

Awards cost £2.50 per student. This includes a certificate and a badge for First and Young Investigators and a certificate for Science Communicators.
