The Making Sense Trail / Activities

Welcome experimenters!

Our Nina and the Neurons themed 'Making Sense' exhibit trail has been developed to help young children learn to experiment and develop their powers of observation using their 5 senses.

Many of the exhibits explored in our trail will be familiar to children from the CBeebies show. You will find them on Floor 1 of our Science Mall.

You can:

• Print a copy of the trail to bring along on your next visit and do the trail at any time you wish or

• Borrow a booklet on the day as part of our scheduled activities.   Due to high demand this operates on a first come first served basis.  Pop your name on the sign up sheet on Floor 1 at the top of the escalator.    Find out when our trails are running. 

There are also some fun activities for you to try at home or in the classroom - all related to senses. Take the taste test, make a flip book and more!
