The Secret World of Gases
We’ll be running our Secret World of Gases 30 minute shows regularly all weekend, where we will engage, inspire and involve children with the amazing stories and science of gases and discover how gases will be used in the future. Find out how cold liquid nitrogen is, how air can become a liquid and explore how hydrogen could power our future, heat our homes and run our buses.
