The history of science relies on lots of amazing people - we've chosen three who are closely linked to our collections, but there are loads of great stories to discover. Have a look at our examples and create your own posters about scientists who interest you.

Check out the videos on this page to find out how you can complete a Discover Arts Award.

We're afraid we're not longer able to issue certificates as the videos suggest, but you're welcome to enjoy taking part in this activity! 

A series of activities inspired by some of the diaries in our collection at the Scott Polar Research Institute. Enjoy recording your observations during your own expeditions.
