Wake Up and Smell the Coffee - Trailer

This is the trailer for the planetarium film 'Wake up and Smell the Coffee'........ a 25 minute animation about the journey of caffeine through the human body. Looking at some basic chemistry and then travelling down into the body, through cell membranes, into the blood stream and into the brain. In the brain it travels past neurons and interacts with adenosine receptors, having the effect of making us more alert. Content aimed at AS/A2 biology. Available to see on request at INTECH science centre, Winchester this show could come to a planetarium near you!! contact me for further details.
