Join a typical family at the dining table as they explore the cool and unusual science of Liquid Nitrogen. By using many litres of liquid nitrogen, balloons, tennis balls and more will be destroyed all in the name of investigating the weird and exciting ways things behave at -196°C. Sure to be a cool evening for a hot summers night!
This event is particularly suitable for ages 7+.
The Hanson family comprises Sharmila, a secondary science teacher, her husband Andrew who runs outreach activities at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), and their daughter Saskia who has an ambition to be a palaeontologist. All three are passionate about bringing science to life through workshops, movies and demonstration lectures. Their work, including a movie about water rockets has won various prizes and the liquid nitrogen show - jointly developed by the family - has entertained and educated audiences in schools, theatres and festivals whilst raising thousands of pounds for charity.
The doors will open at approximately 5.30pm, with a prompt start at 6.00pm.
Latecomers will be admitted into the gallery.
Benefit from free and better than half-price tickets, special offers and access to the CHRISTMAS LECTURES ticket ballot.
