Science Week heads to World Museum in Liverpool

Science Week heads to World Museum in Liverpool 

Science Week heads to World Museum Liverpool from 11th-20th March, and will be full of fun scientific events and experiments to inspire and amaze.

Blast your way through a giant inflatable intestine, learn about poo at the poo station and test whether your hands are stronger than an alligator bite! There’ll be loads more, and it’s free, so add 19 March’s Meet the Scientist event with scientists from the University of Liverpool to your diary and drop in any time between 10am and 6pm.  

How about experiencing the vastness and wonder of the Universe in one of our Planetarium shows? Our recently refurbished planetarium has new shows for all ages and there are plenty to see throughout Science Week, including Big Astronomy, newly introduced last month and exploring the cutting-edge work of astrophysicists in Chile.

And we’ll be taking a close look at endangered species. Let our team talk you through our scientific specimens in Up Close with…Animals. Keep your eyes peeled for their trolley full of incredible stories and handling collections, for you to explore and enjoy.

This year’s Science Week activities come as World Museum ramps up to host the world premiere of Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder – a thrilling new interactive exhibition exploring the world of science within the universe of Doctor Who.

A classic Doctor Who foe, the fearsome Dalek, is currently on display in World Museum’s atrium for visitors to snap a selfie on their next visit.

Leila Gwynne, Participation Programme Manager (Museums), National Museums Liverpool, said:

“This is going to be a great week and I can’t wait for families to come and see what we’ve got on. Meet the Scientist on 19 March is going to be amazing fun but parents, rest assured, there’s loads of Science too, sneakily added to brilliant, interactive activities. We’re a year-round science and natural history museum, with a family focus at World Museum. So Science Week is also great to remind everyone about our regular Planetarium shows for stargazing and Up Close with… sessions that use handling objects to bring visitors closer to our collections, which include everything from dinosaurs to Space”.

Science Week, 11-20 March:

Meet the Scientist (19 March, drop-in any time from 10am-4pm, unticketed. FREE)

Come along and meet scientists from the University of Liverpool at our interactive, hands-on science day for all the family. Follow our treasure map around the Museum and discover more about the human body and the amazing world around us! There’ll be lots of fun activities for children of all ages, and adults too! This event will also be returning for Worlds of Wonder on 18 June. 

Up Close With…Animals (4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19 and 25 March, 1-3pm, unticketed. FREE)

Explore Animals in the Endangered World Gallery on Floor Four. Take a look at our scientific specimens with a focus on endangered species. Each month the Participation team will be set loose on Gallery, bringing our handling collections out for you to explore and enjoy. Keep your eyes peeled for our team and their trolley full of incredible stories and specimens.

Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder (tickets available now, open to public from 27 May 2022) 

A thrilling new interactive exhibition exploring the world of science within the universe of Doctor Who.

Two Small Pieces of Glass (suitable age 8+, weekends and holidays, 11.45am)

Aiming to engage and appeal to audiences of all ages, the show explores the wonder and discovery made by astronomers throughout the last 400 years.

Earth Moon and Sun (suitable age 8+, multiple dates)

The Earth Moon and Sun interact with each other in a variety of ways.  The Moon causes regular tides on Earth and provides the occasional Eclipse. The tilt of the Earth’s axis causes different amounts of sunlight to reach parts of the Earth resulting in the seasons, while the Sun drives the Earth’s weather systems and supplies the energy for life. Learn more about these effects in this family show.

Edge of Darkness is the latest full dome movie produced by Evans & Sutherland.
