Welcome to Green Health Week at Dundee Science Centre! We’re taking part in Dundee's Green Health Week, and have put together a load of activities where you can connect with nature, get some fresh air, and have fun!
Kickstart the week by learning about nature around us with our collect and investigate activities. Our webcams and citizen science links mid-week will give you some ideas for how to engage with nature from inside your home. For the last weekend, we’re getting active and seeing how exercise affects our body, before trying out some grounding techniques and taking a well-earned rest!
