Exploring Extreme Climates at Thinktank
In recent years, people in the Midlands have experienced all sorts of bizarre weather, from flash floods in the height of summer to window-shattering tornadoes. This autumn, Thinktank, Birmingham science museum has a new programme of events and activities to help visitors find out the fascinating science of extreme climates in our world. The Extreme Climates season is running from September until December 2008.
During weekend and school holidays, families can take part in the new science show, ‘Extreme Weather’. Audiences will see lightning as it happens, and witness an amazing fire tornado! Little ones can join in the fun with ‘Wanda and the Weather Woman’ for an exciting journey around the world. In this interactive storytelling session under 8s get to encounter different climates, understand why there are seasons in the year, and find out what the weather is like on the other side of the world.
In Thinktank’s digital planetarium the new full-dome show ‘Extreme Climates’, is also available to visitors. Audiences will be taken on a trip around the globe to find out how as our planet’s climate changes, the human race must search for new worlds to inhabit. What we discover in our brand new show is both shocking and fascinating.
With hundreds of hands-on exhibits to get to grips with, lots of fun tours and amazing demonstrations, visitors will be swept up in the wonder of science!
