Summer Holidays.....
Bang Goes the Theory is BBC One's exciting new series with a hands-on approach to science. From climbing a building using a vacuum cleaner to trying to enter the space race, Bang Goes the Theory discovers and challenges the astonishing scientific principles that shape our world. Presenters Dallas Campbell, Liz Bonnin, Jem Stansfield and Yan Wong travel the world testing ideas and meeting experts to answer the questions we've always asked but never known how to solve.
This summer BBC Learning is giving children aged 8-14 the opportunity to get hands-on with science with specially tailored workshops from BBC 21CC. Led by experts from the science and film industries, participants will be putting science to the test by developing exciting experiments and making short films to document their discoveries.
