Put your ideas into action
The Test It Zone is where curious visitors can try things out, experiment with ideas and see what happens when science meets imagination.
Experiment, investigate and see what happens next
The Test It Zone gives visitors space to explore science through active, hands-on discovery. It is designed around trying, testing and learning through doing. Visitors can investigate ideas, experiment with imaginative creations and see how different choices can change the outcome. It is a flexible, interactive zone that encourages curiosity, problem-solving and trial and error. It is a great area for visitors who like working things out for themselves and discovering what happens when they test an idea.
Perfect for experimenters and hands-on thinkers
Test It is well suited to visitors who enjoy trying things out, asking questions and learning through trial and error. It works well for:
Families who enjoy practical, hands-on science
Children who like experimenting and discovering outcomes
Older children interested in problem-solving and investigation
Schools and groups exploring STEM through active learning
Visitors who want to test ideas rather than just read about them
Science that encourages trial, error and discovery
Testing is at the heart of how science works. The Test It Zone gives pupils a practical way to explore investigation, prediction, observation and problem-solving. For schools and organised groups, the zone can support learning around experimentation, cause and effect, design thinking and how ideas improve through testing.
Try it once. Change something. Try again.
Plan your visit and explore a zone where questions turn into experiments.
