About Science Sunday
Celebrate Maths Week Scotland at the National Museum of Flight.
Use objects from the collection to practice ‘subitizing’ – the ability to see the number of objects without counting.
Find out about the museum collection with our Cryptography Challenges and explore the museum with our new maths trail.
Then have a go at puzzles, relax in our reading corner, and more.
