Lab in a Lorry!
19th - 23rd and 26th - 30th July, all day
Lab in a Lorry is an interactive mobile laboratory and it is coming to DSC Sensation for two weeks this summer! If you are aged 8-16 and want to do some experiments that include smashing wine glasses with sound and generating electricity, then get involved in this hour-long hands-on workshop.
Visitors get their hands on some experimental kit, doing the cool physics experiments themselves under the supervision of practising scientists from local universites and companies.
There will be five workshops per day and spaces are limited so you are advised to book up for this unique experience in advance. For advance booking, call 01382 228800. Places may be available to book on the day.
