CHILDREN will experience science in action this week in interactive sessions in York.
The University of York Science Trail 2014 is designed to bring science to life for 13 to 15-year-olds from across the Yorkshire and Humber.
Activities include using plant materials to make plastic, practising basic life support skills and learning how to identify and explore different tree species.
The Department of Philosophy will challenge the teenagers to think about the relationship between reason and science through fun mental puzzles, while the Department of Physics will help them make and launch paper rockets from a high-pressure rocket launcher.
Lorna Bowling, widening participation officer at the University of York, said: “The Science Trail is about giving young people an opportunity to explore a diverse range of scientific subjects and practices. The 2014 programme is full of exciting activities.”
