Science Boffins show Saturday 14th September 11:00am -12:00pm
Join us as Science Boffins host a fun and interactive way for the kids to learn about various scientific principles while having a great time. It will engage their curiosity and show them the wonders of the natural world through hands-on experiments and demonstrations.
watch as they conjure up an ancient scientist from a bottle. They will then do some experiments to see who's naughty or nice testing their observation skills and more importantly their morals! As water disappears from a cup one willing victim risks getting wet as the remaining children decide their fate. Next the children will learn about a poorly elephant with a toothache and be amazed how 3 small quantities of chemical can make such a huge amount of toothpaste! With the amount of noise, the children will have made so far, it’s time to test how big their lungs are with our windbags. Using Bernoulli’s air flow principles, we can make a child fill a bag up with over 10 litres of air in one breath! Finally, we use Bernoulli’s principle to show where a stream of air goes with metres of loo roll being flung across the room as the air carries it over the children.
Book your tickets now, to be a part of the fun, adults go free with a children's ticket. All children must be supervised.
