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. 

Join in with our show

11am Sonic Science

We are constantly bombarded by different sounds, friends laughing, birds singing, and even the bleep of a text message. But what is sound? Find out with the help of ping-pong balls and smoke rings!

Have a go at our take-home activity

2pm  Rainbow Bracelets

What colour is light? Well, sunlight looks ‘white’ or maybe yellowish, but actually it’s made of lots of different colours. We can use this glass block called a prism to split the light into the different colours - just like a rainbow. Find out more and use these visible colours - and beyond - to make a rainbow bracelet

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.
