In pictures: Pupils are hands on with science as The Curiosity Cube stops by Westquarter Primary

Curious minds had the chance to learn when a mobile science lab rolled into the playground at Westquarter Primary last week.

The Curiosity Cube – a travelling lab on a mission to inspire kids to explore science and dream big about STEM careers – stopped by the village school towards the end of this year’s Falkirk Science Festival.

The cube had already been in attendance at the festival’s STEM@Helix Park event during the previous weekend.

It’s visit to the school allowed pupils to learn more about all things science and to get hands on with some experiments and speak to real scientists, sparking their curiosity.

The Curiosity Cube is run by Life Science business Merck and aims to bring science to life for children.

Herald photographer Michael Gillen stopped by and captured these images of pupils learning with hands-on experiments inside the lab.
