Open Doors Day!
Come and join us to explore the wonders of Biological Sciences!
We have fun and interactive science stalls for all! Use an Ultrasound gun to find hidden insects, or look at bloodsucking bugs under a microscope! Learn about plant diversity through a card game, and measure how much leaf litter worms and woodlice can tidy up and learn how they help plants thrive! We also have some amazing talks on subjects on dinosaurs, moths, and tropical forests!
