Reflections:
I think the most astounding thing about
Newton is that he was interested in
EVERYTHING. He didn’t just discover the
laws of motion, gravity and light which
we all learnt at school, but turned his
phenomenal brain to just about every
corner of maths and physics, from static
electricity to the geometry of music. This
show has several mentions of Newton
(there’s no way he could be missed out!)
but also reflects a little of his eclectic spirit,
and how everything in the world can be
seen a little differently if viewed through the
eyes of a scientist.
What science lurks in our kitchen
cupboards? Who are the pantry heroes
of chemistry, physics and biology? Your
chance to witness the wonders of things
you use everyday. Forget competitive
cooking programmes - the science in your
kitchen is far more explosive! And nobody
gets marked down for a soggy bottom!
