Wisbech Community PopUpScience

Cambridge Science Centre is bringing PopUpScience Centre to Wisbech and Fenland Museum as part of our exciting STEM in the Fens project.

Open to the public each Saturday from 10.30am to 3pm, families will be able to enjoy free entry to Wisbech and Fenland Museum and you will be able to explore our hands-on STEM-based exhibits, join in with our shows or have a go at one of our activities.

Today's Show

11am     Same but Different

Meet Darwin and his family - why do they look alike? And how come we all look a little bit the same - but different?

Look into Darwin’s famous voyage on The Beagle and how that helped him formulate his theory of evolution. Packed full of fun games and demos, this show gives you a chance to be a part of a 5 billion year old story!

Today's Activity

2pm     Paper Beetles

There are currently around 350,000 different species of beetle, but it's very likely that there are many more out there waiting to be found. Find out a bit more about some of them and then design your own - who knows, there might be one just like it somewhere?
