Once again the schools filled the Milton Keynes City Discovery Centre and brought nearly 600 Year 6 pupils. The predicted excitement in the Cruck Barn as they build their “canal bridges” meant I had to purchases some more screening to enable the other demonstrator there to be heard comfortably! This time we had Thames Water join us and the children learned much about water management while the proven dangers of smoking were highlighted by the Milton Keynes Respiratory Department. Many of the popular regular demonstrations attended and altogether we had demonstrations on:
Earthworms, Hair Styling Gel Formation, Fight or Flight, Going up in Smoke, How do the Police use Chemistry?, Lovely Hair- Shame about the Skin, Poisons & How They Work, Living on Less Energy, Healthy Horses, Soil & Water, Connecting up Solar Cells, Canal Bridge Building, Life of the Honey Bee, Magic of Oxygen with whiz-bangs, Practical Water Purification, We are A Lifeline (Ambulance Service).
We look forward to seeing all the schools again next year.
