THE award-winning slice of chemical carnage that is Horrible Science is at Lighthouse in Poole today and tomorrow.

Using actors and amazing 3D Bogglevision special effects, the show attempts to find the awful answers to important questions such as why do we produce 50,000 litres of spit in a lifetime – enough to fill 100 baths?

Can you fight deadly diseases and beastly bacteria just using an egg?

Can you survive the Bathroom of Doom and the Toothbrush of Terror – when in just a few hours one bacterium can produce 100 million copies of itself to infect your towel, flannel, toothbrush and even your hands!

The show is suitable for all the family aged six-plus and covers much of the KS2 science curriculum in unusual and hilariously disgusting ways.

Anyone who already enjoys the subject and even those who think it’s the most boring thing on Earth, will find Horrible Science a hugely fun way to learn important new things.
