About

Have you ever wondered why some things roll better than others? Or how we can make objects roll using gravity? Or how different surfaces affect how objects roll? Come and find out at Science Time: Rolling! 

Science Time gets little scientists involved in a fun and interactive learning experience. Each session starts with a question. Children and their caregivers work together to investigate, discover, and then share their findings. Hands-on experiments, activities and crafts help children to explore the topic further. The session finishes with a demonstration and an activity sheet so you can continue your STEM journey at home. 

Bookings open 6 March 2026.
