Science fun

I’ve been looking at a book that’s arrived in our collection entitled Do try this at home.
It’s a fun look at science created by the “Punk Science Team” at the Science Museum (includes DVD) and is published by MacMillan Children’s Books.
Stuffed full of easy to do experiments, information and facts, it’s ideal for children and adults alike.
Much more information can be found on the website at : http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/.
This is a great book which shows that science can be fun as well as educational

A site for bored eyes

The Science Museum's History of Medicine site, Brought to Life, is well worth a visit if you are interested in learning more about diseases, surgery, medical techniques and objects and famous scientists.
The site is split into areas which makes it handy to surf in small chunks. There is material to support both GCSE and undergraduate study and the selected links and bibliographies offer further tantalising information at the end of each article.
The site is funded by the Wellcome Trust.
