Description
Dive into the weird world of materials in which no jelly baby, Barbie doll or paint tin is safe!
In this fast-paced and fact-packed show we'll explore why the world is the way it is, using interactive demos including rare materials, fake beards and a triple-headed monster. We'll also answer those all-important questions about materials, such as:
- What is the world around us made of?
- What’s the difference between elements, molecules and compounds?
- How do you make a jelly baby scream?
