A combination of sunshine outside and it being the last day meant the Science Festival (or the City Art Centre part thereof) wasn't horrendously busy today. As the kids get older, they - Holly especially - can participate in more and more activities. Between them today they made a DNA bracelet, a red blood cell and a virus, explored the jungle, drove a radio control robot, created a "meat muncher" and a "grass muncher", stuck a finger in a sheep's heart, operated a "toroidal gas pulse generator" (to start the chain reactor), dug up some fossils, found out how insulin worked, made gooey worms and slime (and threw them at a proper scientist), made huge bubbles, coloured in some sciencey pictures, designed a tidying-up robot, mummified an apple and jumped down the stairs to test the gravity. Go science!
