This session investigates the journey from the Big Bang, through inheritance, variation, adaptation and evolution to the variety of life we see on the planet today. Morning Session – 7-8 Year OldsUsing a variety of games and activities, we will look at how life on earth has changed over time and investigate why that happened and why it took so long. Children will be gently introduced to the concept of instructions within our bodies, how those instructions might change and what difference that might make to an animal.We will round off the session using science equipment to extract some of those instructions from fruit. This workshop is strictly for ages 7–8 only. Refunds can only be issued for tickets cancelled at least two weeks (14 calendar days) in advance of the event date.

In this workshop, students get to experience what it would be like to work in a forensics lab by investigating a fictional crime scene scenario. They will evaluate the crime scene and suspect DNA samples using modern molecular biological techniques including restriction digests and gel electrophoresis. They will compare the bands formed on the gels to identify the criminal. This workshop is a great introduction to genetics and forensic analysis. Students will learn how scientists would approach a crime scene situation and how to pour and load gels, a process that many students do not have practical exposure to before attending university. This workshop is strictly for 12–14 year-olds and will include a 30 minute lunch break. Students should bring lunch and a drink. Refunds can only be issued for tickets cancelled at least two weeks (14 calendar days) in advance of the event date. Please note that this supersedes our normal event terms and conditions.

Through activities and games we will investigate the concept of evolution through changes in our DNA – the body’s natural set of instructions. Children will be introduced to the steps leading up to evolution and some of the scientific vocabulary to describe how those changes have occurred over time to take us from single celled life through to the most complex life forms on the planet today - us. To consolidate learning, we will finish off by using a variety of science equipment and measurements to extract strands of DNA from fruit. This workshop is strictly for ages 9–11 only. Refunds can only be issued for tickets cancelled at least two weeks (14 calendar days) in advance of the event date. Please note that this supersedes our normal event terms and conditions.

In this workshop students will discover what a colour actually is, understand how objects become coloured, and how chemists can manipulate these aspects to produce dyes and pigments. The session will begin with a brief overview of light and colour mixing. This leads on to a discussion of how colour arises through removal of specific wavelengths of light, and both additive and subtractive colour mixing. The students then discover how chemical bonding can lead to colour, and they produce both natural and synthetic dyes. The final part of the workshop pitches the students against a ‘real-life’ analytical chemistry scenario during which they will devise their own experiment using aspects of concentration, pH and colourimetry to solve a colourful problem.
