Students from UEA’s schools of Biological Sciences and Allied Health Professions are bringing a range of fun activities for children to Norwich Castle Museum - from making optical illusions to seeing how animals communicate through their poo.
The Look Who’s Talking events take place on Saturday March 12 and Sunday March 13 and have been organised as part of National Science and Engineering Week 2011.
Youngsters will be able to learn about how bats communicate, how Morse code was used during the war, how to make a cup and string phone, and see a telephone switchboard from the 1920s.
Other activities include learning about how your nerves communicate with your heart, testing how fast your brain reacts to sound with a prize for the fastest, and discovering how your ears hear and your eyes see.
There will also be the chance to make a colourful animal t-shirt, learn how quickly animals react to predators, find out about how lions’ manes, deer’s antlers and peacocks’ tails contain hidden messages, and learn about communication in the animal kingdom with the museum’s natural history curators.
Look Who’s Talking has been organised by students from UEA’s schools of Biological Sciences and Allied Health Professions in association with Norwich Castle Museum. Activities take place in the Natural History galleries and around the Rotunda.
Norwich Castle Museum is open from 10am-4.30pm on Saturday March 12, and from 1pm-4.30pm on Sunday March 13.
