National Science Week Celebrations at HCC 2017
We were delighted to host the popular Bristol based Explorer Dome light show for a record number of 207 of our primary school pupils. ‘The only mobile, inflatable planetarium dome in the UK with 100% presenter- led, interactive, lively, hands-on science shows. Our enthusiastic and talented science presenters can bring a variety of different themed science shows and workshops to you and will specifically tailor them for age and abilities of your group. Running since 1998, Explorer Dome is a popular and successful science outreach company.‘
The KS2 Light Show:
An investigation into light and colour, what light is, where is comes from , how it travels and how we see a dazzling and enlightening display of effects and experiments- all the more thrilling inside the darkened dome.
The show and presenters received very positive feedback from both pupils and Primary Teachers.

Thursday 9th March - Year 8 Space day
KS3 - Space Show: Our planet, moon, sun and solar system; how they move and what we see in the sky.
Explore our planet, moon, sun and solar system; how they move and what we see in the sky. The origin and evolution of Space and Stars - Cosmology , constellations and the possibility of life in other worlds
Year 8 pupils thoroughly enjoyed the Space show to enrich their KS3 Curriculum, as did all the staff who accompanied them in the dome!
Thank you very much to Mrs Gist and Mrs Lovegrove for organising the day with the primary schools , plus Mr Pugh for ferrying them back and forth in our HCC minibuses to enable so many to participate in the National Science week celebrations.
