Community PopUp – STEM in the Fens at Ramsey Rural Museum

Welcome to our new PopUpScience Centre.

We are open for families and young people each Saturday and Sunday from 10.00am to 3.30pm.  Drop in and join us at any time - entry is FREE.

We will be discovering different scientific concepts through our shows and activities each day in a fun and interactive way. There will be plenty of time to explore our hands-on exhibits too, and our Science Communicators will be on hand to answer any questions you have. 

Have a go at our take-home activity

11am Fabulous Fungi

Bold and vibrant fungi are found in nearly every garden, but what we witness above ground are just the beautiful fruiting buds. However, what about their hidden underground network of hyphae? Find out how fungi are responsible for playing a huge part in our ecosystems, and are one of the unsung heroes of the natural world.

2pm Gums to Bum

Take a tour through the digestive system;  observe what happens from the moment food enters the mouth, all the way until it reaches the toilet! See a series of revolting demos and even volunteer to help the process along the way.

Children must be accompanied by a parent or carer at all times. Most suitable for children aged 7-11 years.  Younger siblings will be able to join in with some adult support.
