Year 5 Life Centre trip

Year 5 had the most amazing day at the life centre! We took part in a ‘Discovering chemistry’ workshop where we took on the role of a chemist and used real laboratory equipment to identify mystery powders and create new substances. We looked at how a flame can be used to identify a chemical and discovered the beauty and wonder of chemical reactions.
We also built our own moon buggies using a range of materials before taking them for a test drive on a recreation of the moon’s bumpy surface.
We were then lucky enough to explore the brain zone, creative zone and the space zone in the life centre before visiting the planetarium.
A fantastic day had by all!
