	Science Theatre Props Derek is presenting a show in the Science Theatre. I sit in the audience and watch. The show is about structures. He uses the following props on stage: a sponge, weights, steel rod, various beams, toilet role tubes, an egg (which apparently has a very strong structure), and a door with cross sections. He talks about the qualities of each of these structures. (Notes from 12/02/03) This album contains 8 photos
	Activity Kits Derek has to move some kits from the storeroom (near the workshop) to the lab/science theatre area. I accompany him in the van. Derek tells me that "there is a lot of moving things around involved". (Notes from 12/02/03) This album contains 9 photos
