Developed to tie in with “Adapt and Change”, the theme for British Science Week 2025, The Science of Change opens with an investigation of how “change” affects (and often improves) every aspect of our lives – and how central science is to that “change”.
Workshop Description
Students then participate in drama-based activities designed to explore specific contributions made to “change” in relation to particular science strands – and touching on the roles played in those areas by a consciously diverse range of individual scientists, technologists and engineers – with a particular focus on …
Adapting for Forces … What do we mean by “forces”? Which forces have particular impacts on our lives? And how do scientists and inventors adapt their work to take account of forces?
Individual in focus: Alexander Miles, who was lucky enough to be born in the free state of Ohio and so not enslaved, and who used forces to make department stores much safer places!
Adapting to Diet … How are digestive systems adapted to diet? How does the human digestive system work? What about the digestive systems of other classes of animal?
Individual in focus: Aleen Cust, born in Ireland and one of the world’s first professional women vets, Aleen cared for the army’s horses on the front in World War I.
