We like to think that we know what intelligence is, and how to measure it, but in this show we will explore why this is more difficult than it may at first seem. As we cover the evolution of intelligence, and how scientists test it in animals and in humans, we will uncover some of the reasons it is so difficult to measure.

 

Packed with interactive games and activities, this science show is great fun, introducing students to the importance of fair tests, as well as nurturing wonder at the diversity of life on earth and the amazing abilities of our animal cousins.
