Creative Copper

Creative Copper is suitable for older Key Stage Two pupils.

We use objects from our collection as inspiration for this session as we look at the real science behind the art of armour decoration. Whether it’s the chemical reactions behind etching or physical properties such as malleability, students can release their creativity scientifically on copper.
