Dr Bunhead's Bogey Factory
a show about materials & how they change
Welcome to the wonderous world of materials! From nappies and knitting needles to bogies and bicycles, absolutely everything is made from materials. With help from volunteer material scientists we will be bashing, bending and boiling everyday materials to reveal their amazing properties and uses. Featuring; swamp monsters, instant snow, mad metals and many more weird and wonderful materials.
(Note: Dr Bunhead will present this show only from 19-22 and 26-29 Feb 2008, thereafter it will be presented by a science communicator specially trained by Dr Bunhead)
