Weird, wacky and wonderful science for year 6s & year 9s!
EVER seen an astronaut the size of a frog? Do magnets always attract metal? What does a tug-o-war have to do with science?
Find out at a new exciting National Science Museum show heading your way from London soon. Come along and take part in some of the most mind-blowing experiments around - we think you'll be amazed by the results!
DID you know? One of the most famous British engineers, George Stephenson, who invented the famous Rocket steam engine, didn't learn to read till he was - 18!
DO grown-ups always seem to be telling you to stop asking so many questions? Are you one of those kids who loves to know how things work, from mobile phones to jet planes.
Fancy having a go at some weird and wacky experiments to reveal some of science’s most amazing sights? If you said ‘yes’ to all these questions then brace yourself for one of the most exciting shows you will have ever seen! The
National
Science
Museum will be heading this way later in the year to show how science affects all our lives in strange and interesting ways. One of the best things about science is how it encourages you to investigate the world and discover the results for yourself.
And if you are really nosy about how things work, then you could be ideally suited to becoming a scientist or an engineer. Now while you may know about science from studying at school, do you know much about engineering?
Well, engineers are the people who develop machines and buildings which aim to make the world a better place. They design bridges, cars, dams and tunnels – and they are also behind the CD players which let you to listen to your favourite pop groups, the roller coasters which give you those terrifying thrills at theme parks and the pumps which make those great waves at water-parks!
If you want to know more about being an engineer, think you could be the person to design the world’s scariest ride, the smallest MP3 player or the future’s fastest car, make sure you grab a seat at the
National
Science
Museum show coming in September.
DID you know? That Mr Bean actor, Rowan Atkinson, studied electrical engineering at university!!
