Explosion has some great activities planned for the weekend of the 23rd and 24th of July 2011. Bring the family and join us for a weekend of fun and science, including Rockets, Torpedoes, and of course Extreme Explosions!
Listen to Marc Farrance, Museum Visitor Services Officer, talk about Extreme Explosions and much more live on Express FM this past week.
There’s plenty to do throughout the day, with lots of ‘hands on’ activities for all the family, including: -
- Build your own Torpedo from everyday junk to test in our special pond.
- Demolish our target with fruit and veg fired from a mini-trebuchet. (It’s a bit like a catapult!)
- Compete to sink each other’s ‘battleship’ as the traditional game takes on a giant size, chemical twist.
- Can you crack the safe? Use Water Bombs to demolish our purpose built polystyrene wall safe.
- Balloon Bloodhounds – Can you design a balloon powered super car to travel at high speeds?
- Build a Rocket with the team from Action Stations in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
- Stick your fingers in your ears as the always-popular Wavy Navy fire the Museum’s big gun.
- And many more activities involving missiles, rockets and Explosions!!!
