IviAKiiiié ‘édi’éfié’i FUN
According to the kids. science is cool. So there’s great excitement that National Science Week is just around the corner. allowing all budding scientists to dust off their lab coats and get their hands dirty.
Glasgow Science Centre is embracing the festival and putting on a week full of events for kids and adults alike. A combination of educational shows for schools, public shows, interactive events and workshops make this an ideal event for all ages of Tomorrow’s World enthusiast.
The educational shows in the multimedia theatre look at the weather and the power of nature with one show including a very painful looking bed of nails. The Scottish Power space theatre, on the other hand, holds the public shows with talks by Dr Bonnie Steves, Dr Lyndsay Fletcher and Dr Martin Hendry. These include “Fire from the Sky’ and ‘The Runaway
Universe’.
At the weekends there is a chance to roll up your sleeves and get involved with a variety of shows covering everything from physical challenges and fossil fun to space exploration and nature. You can get involved (and messy) at the Make Your Own Toothpaste event or take part in Survival: Nature’s Reality Gameshow. So go on, get out your Bunsen burner, slip on your safety goggles and prepare to be a mad scientist for
the week. (Jane Hamilton)
