Darwin was so clever.

3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the eventual object.

Mimas’ gigantic crater Herschel lies near the moon’s limb in this Cassini view. A big enough impact could potentially break up a moon. Luckily for Mimas, whatever created Herschel was not quite big enough to cause that level of disruption.

There are many colours in our world and, no doubt, plants are the ones taking good advantage of them.

The appearance of the cell was the great revolution of life on Earth.

An introduction to the microscope, its history and all the vocabulary related to it.

A workshop to experiment and talk about the different states of the elements on Earth.

The different layers of the Earth have different densities as so have many other materials in our world.

Millions of years ago the Earth was completely different from today. This experiment shows what happens when there is too much CO2 in it.

A timeline from the Big Bang to the appearance of mankind that introduces all the workshops and runs as a common thread.
