Olympic athletes can do amazing things, and so can your students when they get ‘In the Zone’!

In the Zone science investigation kits are now in UK schools and colleges and you can open yours today! Brimming with scientific equipment, teaching resources and experiments, students can explore their lung capacities, heart rates, reaction times, the power in their muscles and how much carbon dioxide is produced before and after exercise.

‘The kit gives inspiration to our teaching and enables a focus on group work and sharing.’ Hannora Loveday, Deputy Head, St Pauls Way Trust.

If you’d like to see how the project fits within the curriculum, click here for the primary sector and here for secondary. Inside your kit you’ll find a teaching guide (also available online). It contains lesson plans for each year group and a helpful guide outlining what the objectives are for each lesson, which resources to use from the kit or website and preparation tips.

To introduce the project to your pupils, use one of the In the Zone assemblies:

For primary schools: In the Zone Primary assembly or BBC World Class In the Zone assembly

For ages 11-19: BBC World Class In the Zone assembly

“In the Zone is a great way to translate the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games fever into genuine learning.” Sir Steve Redgrave CBE, five-time Olympic gold medallist

If you have any questions about getting started or about the resources do get in touch.
