A reminder for all employees that we are holding online “VirtualSchoolTrip” throughout the month of February for children of all abilities to have some science fun, all for free, as part of CEMEX UK’s partnership with the Cambridge Science Centre.
Please note: the ‘trips’ are only available for the week specified – so Stronger by Design will only be available until 21st February, with Spectrum Science launched the week after.
To access the show, please click on the URL and use the necessary password.
15th February – 21st February – Stronger By Design
What dangers do firefighters face, what makes a bullet proof vest so strong, and does any of this relate to custard? This show looks at the engineering behind some of the most amazing materials that keep us safe when we’re in danger. We look at the fabrics that protect firefighters from flames and water, how a woven material can stop a bullet, how many materials astronauts need to stay safe on a spacewalk, and, seriously, why is custard important?
Suitable for all ages, aimed at Key Stage 1 and 2.
Show time: 25 minutes

22nd February – 28th February – Spectrum Science
Want to see something out of this world? Sometimes invisible light is the only way! This intergalactic show shines the light on our universe as we take a tour of the stars – using infra-red and ultraviolet sensitive cameras to explore what cannot normally be seen in our skies.
Suitable for all ages, aimed at Key Stage 3.
Show time: 25 minutes
