About the event
Welcome to our Wisbech PopUpScience Centre.
We will be open from 10:30am to 2:45pm throughout half-term. Families can enjoy free entry to explore our hands-on STEM-based exhibits or have a go at one of our activities. We aim to run each activity at 11am and 1.30pm, but these times are subject to change depending on the number of visitors.
Our theme for this half-term is SPACE
Morning activity: Pop Rockets
Rockets aren't all about fire and explosions, we can also use chemical reactions to make things take off. Explore the use of a chemical reaction to fuel a "rocket" made out of a film cannister.
Afternoon activity: Design a planet
Find out why Mars is red and Neptune is blue. Have a go at creating your own colourful planet and its surrounding solar system using chromatography.
Find us at the old ARGOS shop from 10:30am - 2:45pm
Drop in anytime and one of our Communicators will be on hand to guide you through a journey of hands on exploration. No need to book.
