Lab in a Lorry

Out of and in school events, age range 11-14.

Lab in a Lorry is an interactive mobile science laboratory staffed by volunteer working scientists and engineers. Students typically spend a lesson onboard the lorry and in that time they will get to do two of the three experiments. Students work in small groups of about six so that they can all get involved. Each lorry is a self-contained experience, it rolls up and is ready to go. Lab in a Lorry allows students to have a go at "real" science. The experiments on board the lorries are not demonstrations and they are not science centre exhibits. The experiments are exploratory and informed by curiosity and intuition but also bounded and guided by the experience and insight of working scientists.
