Science

During Science Festival week we had a science workshop with a team from Aberdeen University. They had demonstrations to answer all kinds of questions using only things we would find in our own kitchens. Do ask before you try some of them at home though!
I wonder why the moon stays in orbit? Why do astronauts need spacesuits? What is friction? These and more were answered along with some optical illusions that were fun to try.

We experienced a strange illusion after watching the spinning disc!

Ieuan about to get wet?

No! He was safe!
