Glasgow Science Centre offers two workshops that could count towards the CREST Star Investigators award scheme. The award associated to the activity is labeled at the side of the workshop title.

1) Minibeasts Sorted! (Star award)
Fascinated by invertebrates?  Learn more about our creepy crawly companions when you meet our resident beasties ranging from wiggly worms to giant African snails.  Explore their features and learn how to group them using our big interactive sorting key.
