The Shape of Water
Science Week family show with Mars analogue astronaut Niamh Shaw: melting ice, penguins, a blubber glove challenge and stories from a Mars simulator.
Good to know
What to expect
Explorer and analogue Mars astronaut Niamh Shaw shares stories from tracking penguins in Antarctica, being swum at by a hungry polar bear in the Arctic and living on rationed water in a Mars simulator. Kids watch ice melt in real time, find out whether they handle the cold better than a penguin, and try the blubber glove challenge. Along the way they hear about animals with survival tricks humans haven't cracked. It's a funny, hands-on show for the whole family.
