Science in the Park

Science in the Park to reveal the wonders of the world around us

Do you have what it takes to help deliver a lamb? Have you got the guts to get up close and personal with a giant millipede or tarantula? Or maybe you’ve always wondered how nature produces its own genetic mutants?
If so, a free family event being held in Nottingham this weekend, and involving a host of experts from The University of Nottingham, could offer the perfect day out, mixing the fascinating with the fun.
Science in the Park 2011, taking place at Wollaton Hall on Saturday March 12 from 11am to 4pm, has been organised by the British Science Association Nottinghamshire Branch and aims to open up people’s eyes to the wonder of science in the world around them.

Urban Wildlife

Part of the brief

Use any urban location of your own choice for your project. You are to produce six images, which demonstrate the ways in which animals and/or plants can survive and flourish in the most unexpected places. Where possible show two shots on how progress and ‘modernisation’/ ‘industrialisation’ have affected both the good and the bad aspects of the wildlife in the area.

There is a very good website, which may give you some thought and help with ideas.
