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 from September through to Easter.
Each evening includes special
demonstrations.
Details of dates & times for 2012 - see contacts page.

pillars
opposite The Picture House) EX4 3AJ.
