There's a chance to uncover the mysteries of the Earth and its oceans at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton this Saturday March 15.
Visitors can learn how we explore the oceans and the
Earth through amazing science and engineering; visit the aquarium;
listen to short, informative talks, and take part in a range of
exciting hands-on activities. There will be a chance to operate an
underwater vehicle, learn about the way the oceans work and take a
close look at fossils and sealife, as well as tours of a working
research vessel, the RV Callista.
Visitors can experience first-hand the exciting technology that is
helping us understand more about the least explored areas of our
planet, their effect on the Earth's climate and the impact of mankind
on their delicate ecosystems.
There will be competitions to win prizes, including a model remotely-operated underwater vehicle.
The Centre's cafeteria, with breathtaking views across the working port, will be open throughout the event for refreshments.
The event, which is organised in partnership with the University of
Southampton, is part of National Science and Engineering Week - a
countrywide celebration of the wonders of science.
Admission to the Ocean and Earth Day is free and doors open at 10:30am.
