Calling all curious young scientists! Join us for an action-packed hour of hands-on experiments designed for kids aged 7–10.

Over the hour, children will rotate through three exciting science stations:

• Pom Pom Launchers – Learn about physics by building your own launcher using simple craft supplies. Then test how far you can send your pom pom flying!
• Strawberry DNA Extraction – Discover the building blocks of life by extracting real DNA from strawberries.
• Chromatography Flowers – Reveal the hidden components of colour and the secrets of solubility while creating beautiful bouquets.

To participate in this free event, please sign up at the stall in advance if you want a guaranteed place. Parents and carers are invited to stay and watch (in a comfortable seating area) for the duration of the activity.
