Spring into a new season of exciting science fun at Winchester Science Centre this March and April. Outside things are beginning to bloom and inside the experiments are set to go boom at Boom & Bloom. Between Saturday 18th March and Sunday 17th April, there’ll be all the usual Science Centre fun, plus even more to excite all ages, all included with admission. Join in with an eggs-travaganza Easter hunt, help plant the Boom & Bloom garden and get hands-on with bubble-fun live science. It’s not just the animals that are blooming in spring, have you heard the buzz around pollination? Visitors are invited to head off on a pollination exploration in Flower Power, a free live science show where families will discover more about this fascinating and vital part of nature. Have you ever climbed the branches of tree? Or enjoyed a juicy bit of fruit? Pollination played a key role in all those activities. But how? In this fun-filled 20-minute live science show, families will get an in-depth look at how pollination works through exciting experiments and live demos. Discover which animals are key pollinators and learn what plants they are attracted to. And be wowed by the ballistic seed dispersal finale. If live science has got the kids excited, they won’t want to miss out on the bubble fun in Science Live. Families can get hands on and become part of the experiments. Or for a bit of natural science visitors can head over to Bio:Space to help plant the Boom & Bloom garden. Discover more about what plants and flowers need to grow and come back in the summer to see how much has changed. We know how to grow plants on Earth, but can we sustain life on other planets? That’s the question being asked in The Planetarium. Zoom into the stars for a family space adventure in Solar System Quest, a live presenter-led show. And in We Are Aliens, a subtitled film show, Harry Potter star, Rupert Grint, will narrate an exciting film looking at if there is life out there beyond our planet. Planetarium shows are an additional small charge. For more information about the 2023 season at Winchester Science Centre visit WinchesterScienceCentre.org.
