Super Science Shows at MOTAT

Super Science Shows at MOTAT

The popular 'Science in a Van' show is coming to MOTAT during May. Taking place over two weekends, the dynamic duo of Alan and Emily Worman, will perform their interactive family shows aimed at engaging children with science and teaching them about this fascinating subject in a fun and memorable way. ‘Science in a Van’ provides children with hands-on experiences which demonstrate the relevance of science in everyday life and how essential it is for understanding the world around us.

The Wonderful World of Bubbles Saturday 2 & 9 May
Bubbles are a fantastic tool for learning about fundamental scientific ideas. This experience facilitates the exploration of materials in order to identify, classify and investigate them. Children will get an understanding of mixtures, how they can separate and come together to create a reaction. As a bonus, participants will get to see bubbles bigger than their head!

Move It! Sunday 3 & 10 May
This experience explores how things move, what keeps us ‘grounded’ and why some things move faster than others. During this interactive show visitors will learn about Newton’s three laws of motion and then apply that knowledge to enable ‘Space Chick Steve’ to fly across the room! While the ‘Move It!’ show answers many questions about forces, it also inspires participants to investigate further.

The Super Science Shows are each 30 minutes in duration and take place at 11am, 1pm and 3pm over two weekends. MOTAT is open from 10am to 5pm and normal admission fees apply. Special bookings are not required for these shows. For more information visit the MOTAT website.
