Exploring the science of water at MOTAT this summer

With a range of water games on offer, players will have great fun testing their aim and getting hands-on with water projectiles and pistols while at the same time learning all about size, weight and force. Experiencing MOTAT’s iconic Pumphouse and its boiler is bound to fascinate young guests as they discover how Auckland first received fresh water from Western Springs back in the ‘olden days’.

MOTAT’s Visitor Engagement Manager Sarah Somerville explains that the Museum wants to explore the science behind water and highlight its importance to all life on earth. “Water is something which many of us just take for granted and yet we would struggle to survive for longer than three days without it. One day it could be more valuable than gold,” says Ms Somerville.

Water will be on at MOTAT between 10am and 5pm every day, including public holidays, from 2 to 29 January. So come along to the Museum this summer and be immersed in the wonderful science behind this amazing liquid. www.motat.org.nz
