Professor Mason specialises in Physics. He showed the children some fantastic fossils and various rocks, including lava and spoke about the work of volcanologists. However, it would be fair to say that the children were even more impressed by his demonstration of the scientific properties of chocolate.

Later he agreed to be interviewed for BearWaves by  James Udall, Jennifer Howlett, Charlotte Parr, Nicolas Stanford, Antony Viccars, Alyssa White, Jaruniha Jegatheswaran and Jack Kilgallon. If you would like to hear their interview pleas click here.
