PROGRAMMES

Can you make a square bubble? Find out by blowing lots of bubbles to explore the shapes and angles soap bubbles create when they join together and build a frame to form a non-spherical bubble!

How do planes stay in the air? Investigate the forces of flight by making your own paper gliders and testing them out! Make three different types of aircraft, and it will be up to you to perfect the design.

How does tech work? Get hands-on and take apart different things like a pen, a torch and a calculator to discover how something works. By exploring all the parts and people involved in making an everyday object, you may be surprised at how much lies beneath the surface.

You know something great is going to happen when Steve Spangler has to cover his kitchen science lab in plastic! In this show, we will experiment with chemical reactions to create carbon dioxide gas to make things fizz, pop and explode and learn the secret to create the famous explosive Elephant’s Toothpaste reaction. You will not believe what is hiding in a can of soda or your breakfast cereal, and how your knowledge of density and a little creativity will make a bowling ball float in water, but your critical thinking skills will lead you to an incredible discovery. Get ready to explore some amazing science you can do yourself… and some things you will want to try at a friend’s home!

Explore the strange and slightly spooky behaviour of carbon dioxide gas in this simple experiment you can do at home. You will learn how to use chemistry to create amazing levitating bubbles to wow your friends and family, and of course we will tell you the science behind this amazing illusion.
