Tour of Science! (Life Science, Earth Science, Space Science, Human Biology, Physics & Chemistry)

What makes water flow, what makes plants sprout, and what makes milk curd? Make predictions, smear with jam and twist some screws. Delve into chemistry to find out what brings about transformations in edible ingredients. Experiment with things that sink, things that float and things that can’t decide. Come join our assortment of mind-boggling experiments. Bet you didn’t realize science could be this yummy!


科學之旅(生物科學,地球科學,太空科學,人體生理學,物理及化學)

什麼讓水流動,讓植物發芽,讓牛奶凝固呢?齊來一邊猜猜想, 一邊塗塗果醬和扭扭螺絲吧。一頭鑽進化學裡,找出是什麼令食物材料發生變化。試驗一下會沉,會浮,及不沉也不浮的東西。快來進行瘋狂的實驗,相信你從未發現科學原來也可以這麼好味道!
