About Teddy Bears vs Gravity
Why can birds, planes, rockets and balloons defy gravity, but bears keep their paws on the ground? Bring your favourite soft toy along for an adventure with author and science educator Isabel Thomas, based on her latest picture book. Find out how gravity works and how we can use bear-odynamics to make the impossible… possible!
Please bring your own soft toy or teddy.
There will be a book signing after this event.
Get ahead of your Festival reading and visit the Waterstones Cheltenham Science Festival bookshop and support Cheltenham Festivals with every purchase.
