The Shape of Water with Dr Niamh Shaw
How much water does it take to survive on Mars? Less than one elephant drinks in four days. That’s the kind of question Earth & space explorer Niamh Shaw has had to answer in real life! The Shape of Water is a wild, funny, hands-on adventure for families. Watch ice melt in real time. Find out who copes better with the cold- you or a penguin. Try the blubber glove challenge. Meet the animals who’ve cracked survival tricks humans haven’t. And hear real stories from the ice, the desert, and a simulated Mars mission, told by someone who’s actually been there. Big questions, brilliant facts, real adventure. Bring the kids- and your sense of wonder.
Niamh has lived on rationed water in a Mars simulation, tracked penguins across the Antarctic, and been sniffed out by a hungry polar bear in the Arctic. Now she’s bringing it all to Science Week and Louth Science Festival
