Dr Jamie Gallagher takes you on a guided tour of the building blocks that make up the planets, the universe – and us. "The periodic table has been an emblem of science for over 100 years. Behind this iconic classroom poster live tales of romance, murder, greed and wonder."
It’s 28 years since we first brought Arcs & Sparks to Orkney and we’re delighted to be back! If you were there and remember our first shows, do come and say hello – and if you were there as a child, maybe you’ll even be bringing your own family this time! Volunteers most definitely welcome, as we create hair-raising experiences with our giant van de Graaff generator and dim the lights for dramatic displays of indoor lightning.
See a head mysteriously grow and shrink and a coin pass through a solid rubber sheet. Watch water vanish and defy gravity, and observe metals bend using the power of the mind. Dr Adrian Allan from Dornoch Academy with a family magic show with science behind every trick. For age 10 and upwards.
