CELLebration
Step into the past, present, and future of cell biology with us, and explore how science and lab work continue to evolve over time. Challenge yourself with some hands-on laboratory-themed tasks in our Neuron Pod and become a cell biologist like those working in the labs below your very feet.
This show is also best paired with our STEM Pod Experience to see how our resident scientists put the skills you’ve been learning into action in active research. Add a STEM Pod Experience to basket at checkout

Key Stage 2 Science curriculum links
Year 4: Living things and their habitats, working scientifically
- recognise that living things can be grouped in a variety of ways
- using results to draw simple conclusions, make predication for new values, suggest improvements and raise further questions
Upper KS2: Working scientifically
- taking measurements, using a range of scientific equipment, with increasing accuracy and precision, taking repeat readings when appropriate
