Physics at Kilmarnock Primary

Drs Tom Gallacher and Paul Cruickshank recently visited schools in Kilmarnock to show pupils in two primary-seven classes and one secondary-one class some exciting aspects of physics. The pupils built electronic circuits and saw what happens when things get so cold that air turns into a liquid.
