If Stars Wars battles were real, they would be silent because there is no sound in space and young humans with good hearing register sounds for longer than older people.
Those were just two scientific facts shared at Keith St School last week during a workshop with travelling science roadshow instructors Anna-Sophie Winter and Andrew Beale.
Keith St School was hosting the roadshow in Whanganui, and Huntley School from Marton were visiting to participate in workshops and try out the roadshow's interactive exhibits.
Keith St principal Linda Ireton said a group of students were working with roadshow staff to help visitors from other schools understand how the exhibits worked.
Children and adult visitors could learn about nutrition, the human senses, health, weather conditions and natural disasters.
