The men in white coats visited Sheerness as part of a school project.

A ‘Science Boffin’ went to Rose Street primary for an assembly where he showed pupils a range of experiments.

Afterwards, youngsters were given the chance to carry out tests of their own, including making honeycomb and silly putty.

The wacky creativity was the highlight of the school’s Science Day.

A spokesman said: “The children had a fantastic day. It sparked their imagination and they are keen to learn more about the subject.”
