Event:The Big Science Project: The Waterproof Properties of Wool
The Big Science Project returns to the National Wool Museum. No need to book tickets, just drop in and enjoy!
Investigate the waterproof properties of wool.
How does the waterproof properties of wool, as a clothing material, compare to man-made synthetic fibres? Come and run an experiment where you will compare wool with 3 man-made materials and determine which of the 4 materials tested is the most waterproof. You will also have an opportunity to view these materials under a microscope to understand the science behind it!
This event is free, however every gift you give us, however small or large, will help us ensure that Amgueddfa Cymru belongs to everyone and is here for everyone to use.
