A Mummy for Melissa

Aimed at fact-seeking families with children between four and eight, this introduction to cells and genetic inheritance uses the story of a little new-born monster called Melissa to help little ones get to grips with the complex word of cells. Attendees can take part in a show within the venue's cell-shaped 'Pod', suspended over the laboratories of the Blizard Institute, and can also try their hands at experiments, watch demos and use high-power microscopes. Tickets should be booked in advance.
