Classrooms all over Galway will be going ‘crash, bang, wallop’ over the next two weeks – as youngsters learn the joys of science as part of the Galway Science and Technology Festival. For included in the shows going out to schools starting next Monday, are ones on building your own water-propelled rockets, and a mad science show which promises ice storms, giant smoke rings, and smokey bubbles. And, that’s before Mr Bug arrives with snakes, stick insects, cockroaches, snails, millipedes, tarantulas, scorpions and lizards – all in the interests of teaching kids about the world around them. Students at the True Physics Show will form teams to research, design and build the most efficient rockets possible. And then they will get to launch their creations and watch the rockets fly hundreds of feet into the air. |
