Sense and Sense-ability

Explore your senses (and sense of humour!) in this fast-paced, interactive and super-fun workshop.

Explore your senses in this dynamic session. Students will learn the principles of light and sound, key scientific terminology, how to conduct an experiment and, most interestingly, about themselves.

Find out how our bodies are constantly reacting and responding to external stimuli—and how this informs who we are.

Everyone will have the opportunity to discover if they are a super-taster, how their ability to sense the movement of their body measures up and what makes smells smelly.

Combine with an Operation Ouch! Brains, Bogies and You exhibition booking and save 50p per child.  

This activity runs during school term time only.
