Stewards students were invited to attend a teacher focused event at the Science Alive Gallery at the Harlow Leisurezone,  illustrating the exciting resources and workshops available there.  Science Alive offers many interactive science and maths activities and our students had a wonderful time trying them out. They also visited the planetarium and made air rockets. In the afternoon Prof Ron Douglas gave a presentation which asked the question: ‘Does my Goldfish See Colour?’ After a fascinating talk about colour  and how we and the rest of the animals in the world perceive it the answer to the question is yes, they do see in colour and their colour vision is far better than ours!
 

Joseph Thomas 7MT said that it was ‘Absolutely brilliant. The expedition to Parndon Wood Nature Reserve was a real eye-opener. We came back with Deer poo and bits of bark and litter. The Cookie-cutter shark  mentioned in Prof Ron Douglas’s talk  was very interesting, and I was allowed to bring my darlek!’

Louise Baker 8HS said : ‘It was a great event. The workshops were very enjoyable and the presentation was funny and educational at the same time.’
