Carry our practical experiments using real tools and materials. Work on your own, in a team, or enlist the help of a friendly Explainer.
On now – Grab your lab coat and be a real scientist in the Experiment Zone! It’s Life’s 25th birthday,
Visitors have 5 sealed boxes containing different items. First, they use their senses to learn about the contents of the boxes. They might shake the boxes, listen to the boxes etc. Next, they can use a magnet to see if that provides any more information about the contents. Then they can compare the sealed boxes to specific items to see if they feel/sound similar. Finally, they use the information they have gathered to come up with several guesses for what could be in each box.
(Activities are subject to change).
The Experiment Zone is for ages 7+, we restrict access to under 7s for safety reasons. Children aged 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
