How about organising a science visit?
Places to go on a science visit
There are lots of places to go on a science visit, and you're bound to have somewhere exciting nearby. Here are some ideas, but don't forget to contact us and tell us where you've beenWe'd love to hear about what you did, and even see some photos!
- Museums and science centres (see the links on the left for lists of lots of museums and science centres)
- Dentists, doctors surgeries and hospitals
- Zoos, safari parks, aquaria, and botanical gardens
- Farms
- Woods, forests, the seaside and the countryside
- Railway stations, factories or even a quarry
- A university
- An air pollution monitoring site, or a weather station
What to do when you get there?
Many museums and science centres produce leaflets or trails for visitors. Here are some we found, but we think you'll be able to create some that are just as good! Send them to us and we'll share them with other Young Science Ambassadors ysa@the-ba.net- Activity sheets - from the National Museum Cardiff. We like Trilobite and tracks
- Activities, exhibit trails and Nina and the Neurons from Glasgow Science Centre
- Have a treasure hunt
- Put little activities in a rucksack, this is a bit like creating a leaflet, but you get to include objects as well (e.g. a magnifying glass and pen and paper, for people to draw three shells they see on a beach)
- Think up a game (e.g. collect 10 different leaves in 5 minutes)
