We’re racing against time to escape a secret location in our British Science Week 2024 Live Lesson.

Mwaksy Mudenda and Zoologist Yussef Rafik are trapped in Professor Goldbug's office and need your pupils’ scientific knowledge to solve a series of invertebrate-themed tasks.

With the help of Norfolk Bug Parc expert Dr. Jess French, your class will learn about life cycles and metamorphosis and help us crack the code to our Live Lessons escape room.

Dr. Andy Chandler-Grevatt from Brighton University also takes us on a microscopic moss safari to spot tiny invertebrates called tardigrades.
