Science in the city

After seeing an advert for some Children's University activities,  we decided to pop along.  We enjoyed making playdough teeth; extracting DNA from a strawberry using washing up liquid and alcohol ; a spot of sweet chromatography ; and the piece de resistance was of course icing the biscuits. Loads of running round the winter gardens,  and den / home making.

I  the millennium galleries we explored the sound map of sheffield,  which the children did spontaneous free form interpretive dance.  Su and I were captivated until,  they ran around the large room in a haphazard fashion,  frightening the guide who poked us into leaving.

Lovely,  lovely day.  Thanks to everyone involved in these amazing experiences.
