Life's Big Questions

Explore five big questions through a series of activities from a tablet or desktop. Challenge your child or take part together to explore big scientific and philosophical questions such as: Are colours only in my mind? Is everything I hear real? How do I know time is passing?

Discover the different ways in which we experience the world and why the senses aren’t as simple as they seem.
