What's it like being a neuroscientist?

Click here to watch the recording of this webinar.During this session, there are various activities to help children think about how science is done. To join in with these, you will need:

  • a coin
  • something to cut through e.g. playdough, an apple, butter, soil and something to cut with (doesn't need to be sharp if cutting something soft)
  • paper and colouring pencils/pens to draw with

Questions kids ask

During our webinars, children and young people have the opportunity to post their questions in the Q&A function and have them answered live by our neuroscientists.

Here's a video of some of the questions asked during our primary Brain Anatomy webinar.
