Our activities

Discover some of the exciting activities lined up for Celebrate Science 2025.

Skeleton Science 

Discover how the scientific study of human remains can unlock stories about diet, health, and life in the past. Explore the human skeleton by labelling bones, examine X-rays and casts to investigate ancient diseases and injuries, and handle animal skulls to learn about diets. Step into the role of a bioarchaeologist and use real evidence to explore how science helps us understand people from the past!

Exploring Biosciences

Explore biosciences from something as large as a hippo to the microscopic. Can you identify an animal from the size and shape of its skull? Use augmented reality T-shirts to see inside your body and learn about your tissues and organs. Look at those tissues down the microscope and see how they all are made of tiny cells.

Biological Nanomachines

Explore scientific puzzles and immersive virtual reality experiences that bring protein structures to life and demystify the world of bionanoscience. Discover ways to harnesses nature’s molecular machinery to build nanoscale devices with potential applications in medicine, materials and beyond.
