Being a Scientist

Use museum objects to observe closely, perform simple tests, classify objects and gather your own data. Can you find out which parts of the learning gallery are attracted to a magnet and which are not? How many different ways can you find to sort shells? What can you see through our telescopes and microscopes? Can you measure sound, length and time and record your results? 

This is a drop in session, please feel free to arrive and leave when you wish. There will be a 10-minute introductory talk about the session and the museum's collection at 1pm, 2pm and 3pm, then plenty of time to explore the activities. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
