Join Dr Jo to explore the wonder of paper and how it can help explain scientific phenomena: from chromatography and capillary action to static electricity, from shadow puppets to optical illusions, from engineering structures to maths problems.

With plenty of demonstrations requiring volunteers, mini investigations to do from the theatre seats, and ideas to take away, this will be an interactive, fun and exciting show that will leave you enthusiastic and curious about the science we can discover through paper.
