Westgate Science Club -
Exeter
...making science cool...for
primary school children aged 7 years +
Hands-on, practical experiments, special displays.
Great fun, with a touch of
chemistry, physics, astronomy, biology.
Children can expect to learn through the
experience but fun is first,
learning is secondary. Westgate Science Club is just that, a club not a
science class.
On a Friday evening once
a month.
During September, October, November &
December 2010
Each evening will include a special
demonstration by an invited guest.
The Club is held in the Lower Hall at The Westgate Church building in Bartholomew Street West, Exeter (The building with 2
pillars
opposite The Picture House) EX4 3AJ.
A Field Trip on one
Saturday during the Autumn will take place. Parents or Guardians may be
asked to help with transport if necessary and of course, they will be
welcome to enjoy the experience as well.
An 'Astronomy Outdoor Observation
Evening'
will be held at least once during the Autumn so that children can have
first-hand experience of using a telescope and observing the night sky.

primary school, are invited to join the club for the 4 events, the
Field Day Trip and the Astronomy Evening.
