MATHS, physics and engineering were brought to life for pupils from schools across York.

Students visited the University of York yesterday to take part in a fair organised by North Yorkshire Business and Education Partnership.

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, British Gas, City of York Council transport planning unit, BT, Mouchel North Yorkshire and Corus took part in the fair.

Students were able to look at the evolution of an organism, how genes work and how bird and bugs see things.

Event organiser for NYBEP, Hazel Baker, said: "The fair was a significant event in the school calendar and sought to complement, enhance and enrich the delivery of the Key Stage 3 science curriculum within the classroom.

"The students also had lots of fun taking part in the activities on offer."

The event was sponsored by British Sugar.
