Taster Day – What You’ll Experience
Forensics – Blood Spatter
Forensics – Crime Scene Lab
Enter a purpose‑built crime scene lab and work through the clues of a mock homicide. You’ll examine staged evidence, consider what it means, and see how investigators build a picture of events.
Molecular Biology & Microbiology
Try out laboratory techniques used to examine microbes and biological samples. This session gives you hands‑on experience with simple tests and processes used to detect and analyse biological material.
Biotechnology
Use real biotechnology tools – including micropipettes and gel electrophoresis – to investigate a DNA‑based mystery. After gearing up in PPE, you’ll work in pairs to analyse samples and identify the “culprit” in a simulated scenario.
Analytical Chemistry
Take part in chemistry demonstrations that reveal how scientists identify substances and explore chemical reactions. You’ll see how analytical techniques help chemists understand the makeup and behaviour of different materials.
Advanced Science
Get a taste of the bigger questions and innovative methods explored in advanced scientific study. This session highlights how different areas of science connect and how researchers tackle complex problems.
Physics
Explore concepts like light, forces and motion through hands‑on experiments and demonstrations. You’ll see how physics principles apply to real‑world situations and scientific problem‑solving.
