Science Shows

Half-hour demonstration shows are closely linked to the national curriculum and use a mix of experiments and audience participation to explore scientific ideas and phenomena, with the emphasis on making science accessible and fun.

Any of the shows here can be performed in your school - see the outreach programme for details.
