Blood, Bile and Body Bits at Methil Heritage Centre
Archived news: published on Wednesday 28 Jul 2010 by Fife Council
'Blood, Bile and Body Bits' are taking centre stage in Methil this Saturday (31st July), when the Glasgow Science Centre comes to town to run a free afternoon of events at the Heritage Centre. Alice Pearson, Exhibitions & Outreach Curator said, "It's great that we can bring this extra dimension to the Centre whilst the Wacky Machines exhibition is on. The Friends of Methil Heritage got a grant from the community fund of the Celebrating Fife 2010 project to bring this unusual workshop to Levenmouth."
In two free shows starting at 12pm and 2pm they'll take a journey through the digestive system, from eating food to making poo and all the bits in between! The human body is an amazing machine as you'll discover in this gory, gloopy show. There will also be a chance to find out how diet and exercise can make a difference to your body's function and overall well-being.
At other times during the afternoon visitors will have a chance to enjoy some 'Science in a Sporran' busking. Exciting hands-on science demonstrations will be based on the work of past Scottish scientists and inventors - tie yourself up in Celtic knots, take a spin with John Logie Baird, make a spark with Hutton's flint and tinder, and a bang with Joseph Black. You can also find out more about the way your body works - see how much air is in your lungs, measure your grip strength, and test your balance and co-ordination.
