This may be of interest to UK Science teachers:-

"In the Zone allows teachers and students of all ages to explore the science of how the human body works during exercise, movement, performance and rest. We will send free kits of curriculum-linked materials to all schools across the UK in early 2012, containing everything you need to take part in practical investigations.
