Service users at our Parkhead Resource Centre in Ashington stole an early march on British Science Week when they were visited by a fun scientist recently.
Neil Harrison’s Big Bang Science workshop had everyone fascinated as they launched into some fizzing, fragrant and bubbling experiments that they could take home to enjoy.
There was lots of laughter and shouts of excitement as their successful experiments – using safe, store cupboard ingredients – produced colourful, working lava lamps, fizzy sherbet and delightful bath bombs.
“We had a fantastic morning, with Neil showing us what to do, and we were all amazed with the results of our experiments,” said Parkhead Manager, Claire. “To top it all, everyone loved that they had something fun they could show off when they returned home.”
They may well still be talking about it all when Science Week arrives next month.
