Thanks to more demonstrators coming forward we have been able to take over 700 Year 6 Children and include nearly all those on the waiting list. Once again Sphere Science fascinated the children with their hands on demonstration in which they had to wire up DC electic motors to solar cells and see, not only, how fast they could make them run but also how they could make them turn the other way. Soapbox Science stepped in to provide a much needed extra demonstration on “Black Grass” showing how scientists are trying to eliminate it from our crops while the Open University provided exciting wiz bangs and other effects with oxygen again, Proctor & Gamble had them making gel, the bees facinated them and water treatment from Thames Water including soils, roads, worms, building real bridges, phorsesic science from the police, the horse and its diet, printing and how poisons work.
