Wake Up And Smell The Coffee (25 minutes, high school level)

WSC_125

Aimed at AS and A2-level biology and chemistry students, this vividly animated fulldome (360-degree) show not only beautifully explains atomic structure and the shape of the caffeine molecule, but also graphically illustrates the makeup of various anatomical cells.

The audience is taken on a flying journey through membranes of the human body, swirled through the bloodstream, and finally pulled through the blood-brain barrier to discover how the shape of caffeine molecules makes them ATP inhibitors, thereby producing the desired effect of reducing drowsiness.

Show available on request for group bookings
