SCIENCE MUSEUM SPECIAL EXHIBITION SCIENCE OF SPORT
SCIENCE OF SPORT explains the science behind sport and encourages children (and adults!) to get themselves interacting with our state-of-the-art exhibits.
Instead of looking at displays, you’ll actually be in them, taking part in races, games and quizzes to test your skills and knowledge of sport. And while you’re playing, you’re learning too!
IELTS General Reading Test
Try out the interactive displays and simulated experiences – dribble a football against the clock, climb an indoor rock face, test the accuracy of your tennis shots, or compete against friends in a quick sprint complete with action replay! Compare your scores with those of your friends and family to see who comes out on top.
You don’t have to be an avid sportsman or woman to enjoy this exhibition – you’ll find it’s just as much fun learning new activities or even discovering hidden talents! For those who prefer a less energetic visit, you can get a closer look at some of the amazing inventions in the sports world that have helped produce record-breaking competitors.

SCIENCE OF SPORT answers your questions about all sorts of topics – coordination, ability, diet, exercise and the technology of sport today all feature in this exhibition.
