A3 Psychology pupils recently enjoyed an engaging trip to Bristol to explore the popular We The Curious science museum.
When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by enthusiastic museum staff, who delivered an interactive lesson filled with fascinating facts and experiments. These activities helped bring key psychological and scientific concepts to life, reinforcing classroom learning in an exciting, real-world setting.
Following the session, we were given time to explore the museum’s wide range of exhibitions. Highlights included controlling a “human clock,” tackling giant puzzles, and experimenting with a variety of hands-on displays.
One unexpected highlight of the trip was a chance encounter with a museum staff member who demonstrated a miniature version of a shooting star, which was captivating and certainly broadened our scientific horizons.
After several hours exploring, we refuelled with lunch, and a few of us stopped off at a nearby café, before heading back to school full of new fun facts and news stories.
Overall, the Bristol trip was a valuable and enjoyable experience, allowing A3 Psychology pupils to take our learning beyond the classroom and further develop our interest in the subject.
