Bibby Scientific will be firing hundreds of local children’s imaginations during British Science Week (11th to 20th March).
The leading manufacturer of laboratory equipment will be hosting up to 200 local children at its Stone base for a series of scientific and engineering workshops.
Eleven and 12-year-old children will take part in a range of scientific workshops all designed to fire their imagination and turn them on to science. These will include pH measurements of food and drink, colour measurement using spectroscopy, exploring what temperature is and learning about sample mixing and shaking for a wide range of life science applications.
Bibby Scientific will also provide guided tours of its facilities in Stone and will be running a competition for students to win valuable laboratory equipment for their schools.
Dr Jayne Bates, technical support manager at Bibby Scientific, said: “Educating young people about science and promoting it in a positive way is becoming increasingly important for future generations. British Science Week gives everyone, particularly young children, the opportunity to get involved and we welcome the chance to interact with the wider community.”
These activities are part of Bibby Scientific’s ongoing support programme with local schools. For more information please visit our event page on the British Science Week event page
