DISCOVER EGGCITING SCIENCE THIS EASTER AT DYNAMIC EARTH EDINBURGH
… explore the Universe, under the sea and colour changing carrots!
This Easter holiday and during the Edinburgh Science Festival (30 March – 14 April), join Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh for an inspired programme of spectacular planetarium shows (including Pink Floyd – The Dark Side of the Moon), eye-catching photography exhibitions and the promise of oodles of fun at a host of special indoor and outdoor science-based activity sessions for all the family.
Confound your senses at the fascinating free ‘Senses Working Overtime’ event, during which experts from the James Hutton Institute will reveal the science of colour changing carrots and why plants can (temporarily) remove your sense of taste!
North Sea 3D is your chance to dive into the world of marine science, using virtual reality to discover what lies beneath a North Sea wind farm and even trying your hand at controlling an underwater robot. At the ‘Carbon Capturers’ session, meet scientists from the University of Edinburgh who are working on real solutions to tackle global issues like carbon emissions and freshwater shortages.
Of course, it’s also Easter and time for young and old alike to delve into an eggciting egg hunt (30th March – 15 April / admission ticket + £3). Travel through time, exploring Dynamic Earth’s rainforest, polar and ocean themed galleries to collect 9 clues as you find out all about coral, dinosaur, catshark and penguin eggs. Solve the puzzle and be rewarded with a tasty Easter treat!
These are just some of the exciting events that await in Dynamic Earth, the UK’s leading Earth Science engagement charity and the only science centre (and planetarium) in the UK dedicated to the story of planet earth.
Mark Bishop, CEO of Dynamic Earth, commented: “As a major programming partner of the city-wide Edinburgh Science Festival, Dynamic Earth is delivering our biggest programme yet with a laser-like focus on the wonders of science.
“From taking visitors on a journey into deep space in our planetarium, to the chance to get hands-on with an underwater robot, our packed programme of spectacular planetarium films, hands-on activities, mini-exhibitions and meet the expert sessions promises to fascinate and entertain.
It all promises to be great fun and the whole team at Dynamic Earth is really looking forward to welcoming visitors from near and far through our doors this Easter.”
