Eight years ago water was found on Mars. Then in 2010, dark narrow streaks were seen on Mar’s surface. Recently scientists at NASA have confirmed that these streaks are liquid water. But why is this discovery so exciting? Water is essential for life. It is required by every organism on Earth and without it life would never have even begun. The unique and still not fully understood properties of water are what makes it so vital for life, If liquid water is present on Mars, this could mean that Martians are real.

Join Science Party-cles for an interactive and hands on investigation into the properties of water and it’s unique ability to help create life. This will involve unburstable balloons, hot ice and gravity defying tricks.

Science Party-cles is a unique service bringing to life. It was started in 2012 by two female scientists with a passion to engage, energise and educate the public about the mysterious and fascinating world of science. All events are interactive and use as many household products as possible to make science accessible.

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available throughout the day.

If you would like to attend this event please speak to your WI secretary or visit www.lancashirewi.org.uk and fill in the on-line application form. The closing date for applications is Monday 11th April 2016.
