Glasgow Science Centre are releasing free online science content every day at 10am so that children, and adults, at home don’t have to miss out.
Since it launched the online videos in March more than 250,000 people have logged on – with some even posting the results of trying experiments at home.
A spokesman for Glasgow Science Centre said: "After the centre announced it would close to the public this week, the team decided the best way to keep people engaged with science was to take content online.
"The result is GSC At Home: a daily drop of science each day at 10am, from filmed experiments to podcasts, tours and interactive challenges.
"GSC At Home has already been shared more than 8000 times on Facebook, and has almost as many likes.
"More than 42,000 people are now signed up to see our content."
Stephen Breslin, chief executive of Glasgow Science Centre, said: “We had to close Glasgow Science Centre for the foreseeable future.
“We launched GSC At Home to ensure people around Scotland can still have access to science, and have their interest sparked while they’re at home.
“Each day people will be able to see filmed science theatre experiments, we might take them on a tour of the galaxy from our planetarium, or share a blog or podcast.
“We look forward to virtually meeting thousands of people each morning at 10am and we’ll be using the hashtag #GSHAtHome to keep the discussions going on social media.”
