Science Busking Make Along

Science busking tricks are simple sensory science activities that you can make with everyday household objects – if you’ve been to the Nottingham Festival of Science and Curiosity before, you won’t be able to have missed science busking!

In this workshop, we’ll show you how to make the tricks yourself to wow your friends and family, and we’ll explain the science behind the awesomeness!

You’ll need to gather some bits of kit before the workshop. You will need:

Trick One

A4 paper

Tape (masking, cello, gaffa, any will do!)

Trick Two

Baking tray, coat hanger, cutlery, toast rack (any fully metal object)

String

Metal slinky

Trick Three

A cheap pair of dark sunglasses (that you don’t mind breaking)

A curtain ring (or something similar that can be the end of a pendulum)

Trick Four

Plastic straw

Scissors

We have been distributing free science busking kits across the county through food banks. Please get in touch for more details: [email protected]
