Glasgow Science Centre - powering the future

Energy underpins our modern lives but there are difficult choices to be made about how we will supply and use energy in the future. Is our energy affordable, secure and environmentally sustainable? As you explore these interactive hands-on exhibits, you can explore our energy options – from how we can produce electricity and fuels to how we can be smarter with our use of energy. What would you do?​​

Moredun Disease detectives

​The Moredun Foundation is committed to promoting livestock health and welfare through research and education and is recognised worldwide for its contribution to research into infectious diseases of farmed livestock.
Established by Scottish farmers in 1920, Moredun’s work has always been firmly based on addressing the needs of the farming industry.
Moredun’s research has led to the development of many vaccines, diagnostic tests and improved treatment strategies for farm animals across the globe.
The Moredun disease detectives can be found outside the High school and join them inside for a VR parasites activity
