Women in STEM KS2–KS3 | Science Data Analysis Activities

Designed specifically for offline use, ensuring all missions can be completed without an internet connection. This pack is a rigorous training in real-world data analysis and evidence-based reasoning designed for Years 5–9 (KS2 & KS3).

**What is Included in this Pack?

This comprehensive resource provides a complete, self-contained lesson experience:

Three Rigorous Technical Missions: A series of challenges based on real scientific discoveries.

Student Mission Log: A dedicated workspace where students record observations, calculations, and final conclusions.

Teacher’s Instructional Guide: A step-by-step briefing for each mission and preparation notes.

Official Teacher’s Answer Key: Detailed technical solutions and scientific explanations to support all educators.

**The Technical Missions

Students act as ‘Specialists’ to solve three major scientific enigmas:

Vera Rubin (Astrophysics): Students analyse galactic rotation data—comparing an expected 110 km/s to an observed 225 km/s—to identify the presence of Dark Matter.

Gladys West (Mathematics): Specialists study the 42 km difference between equatorial and polar diameters to master the Geoid model.

Rosalind Franklin (Biophysics): Using X-ray crystallography, students decode ‘Photo 51’ to identify the Double Helix structure of DNA.

**Curriculum & Design Standards

UK National Curriculum: Aligned with Working Scientifically requirements for Years 5–9 (KS2 & KS3).

British English: Written entirely using UK spelling standards (e.g., analyse, colour, modelling, greyscale).

Eco-Friendly Printing: Optimised for black and white printing with cyan colour accents that remain sharp and readable in greyscale.
