Explore the science of living things
From the human body to the natural world around us, the Life Sciences zone helps visitors discover how living things work, grow, move, sense and survive.
Discover how bodies, senses and living systems work
The Life Sciences zone introduces visitors to the science of life, from human biology and the senses to wildlife, nature and the systems that keep living things working. Visitors can explore ideas linked to the body, health, movement, observation and the natural world through hands-on exhibits designed to make life sciences easier to understand and more memorable. It is a strong zone for curious visitors who like learning about themselves, other living things and the science happening all around us.
Perfect for curious minds interested in the human body and nature
Life Sciences is well suited to visitors who are interested in how people, animals, plants and living systems work. It works well for:
Families exploring science linked to everyday life
Children interested in the human body, senses and nature
Older children learning about biology, health and living systems
Schools and groups exploring life sciences or the natural world
Visitors who enjoy science they can relate to their own body and surroundings
Science that starts with the world around us
Life sciences give pupils a clear way to connect classroom learning with real bodies, real environments and real questions about how living things work. For schools and organised groups, the Life Sciences zone can support conversations around biology, health, senses, observation, habitats and the natural world.
