Been inspired by the Apollo anniversary, but not able to make it to our exhibition? Learn all about the Moon, including where it came from and how we travelled there, and download a My Moon Adventure booklet for your little astronauts to fill out at home or school on our Moon Hub!

Iâve got something in my eye đHello I am Leah, one of the Science Ambassadors from Cleves Cross primary and I have worked with Ambassadors from all the Ferryhill, Chilton and West Cornforth primary schools. I have really enjoyed being a Science Ambassador this year. I loved doing the science clubs, training, the opening of the Phiz Lab, the Rolls Royce and Netpark visits and learning all the science facts. I hope next years Science Ambassadors love it as much as we did! Meeting an astronaut was amazing too! I enjoyed meeting Dr Jenny and Dr Lorraine and all the scientists. Our science club at school was super fun. We have made rockets, slime, oobleck and electronics. Oobleck is a liquid and a solid. In your hand it is a liquid but if you punch or poke it, itâs hard. Also we learned about electronics, we connected wires from a battery to a fan, a buzzer and a light bulb. Itâs all been amazing thanks to the Ogden Trust, Durham University Physics Outreach, Business Durham and Approach Too.

Huge thank you to Dr Lorraine Coghill (Durham Uni Science Outreach Coordinator and Ogden Trust Primary Coordinator) Dr Jenny Search ( Regional Education Manager for Inst of Physics) and Gary Chaplin (Business Durham) You keep on amazing us.

I recently worked with two Y4 classes to introduce their new topic Electricity. We made some basic circuits and then used squishy circuits to investigate different ways of making circuits, different components and different ways to connect them up. They also had the opportunity to get creative with their squishy creations! I returned to the school a few weeks later and they’d made a fantastic display on what they’d learned so far
