Student activity

Image Lab

This issue's activity allows you to explore the science or pseudo-science behind a number of beauty products.

In 'Image Lab' you will find out how beauty products work and make your own videos advertising or scrutinising them. Films produced can be entered into a competition for the chance to win top prizes. So to be in with a chance of winning up to £1000 to spend on film equipment for your school, make sure you have a look.

Read the activity resources [PDF 1.14MB] to find out what you need to do, and talk to your teacher about doing this in school.

To help you with your film, watch the online guide.

Once you've made your film, carry out the post-activity resources [PDF 0.98MB] to investigate the beauty products further.

The activity has been designed in collaboration with three science centres - Techniquest, Glasgow Science Centre and Thinktank.
