About this event
Join National Maritime Museum Cornwall this February half term for Science of the Sea – family fun with a BANG! Bristol Explorer Dome are back with more science shows, we’re on the hunt for creatures that use bubbles to survive on the Museum Trail and in Make & Take we’re using science to create colourful artworks.
Science of the Sea shows
Monday 13 – Friday 17 February, 11am , 12pm, 2pm and 3pm.
A family science show suitable for adults and children aged 5 and over, but all are welcome. Explore the science of water, the nature of atoms & molecules and how they can be solid, liquid or gas. Liquid nitrogen and dry ice illustrate states of matter and we’ll investigate weird and wonderful seas of fire and ice on other worlds. Split H2O into an explosive mixture and consider hydrogen as a fuel of the future. Bring your curiosity and questions for Explorer Dome’s expert science presenters. Expect plenty of audience interaction, freezing fog, fire and BANGS!
