Schools event: Delights of chemistry
Important: this event has passed!
Where does the energy that we need for our life processes come from, and how it gets to us? Mike takes us through a mixture of exciting and dynamic classical chemistry experiments that show how energy is transformed, so the flashes and bangs are not entirely gratuitous!
Find out why is it correct to say water boils at 373 degrees, what elephants toothpaste might look like, and what three thousand explosions in less than three seconds would sound like!
Warning: loud bangs, and a barking dog. May contain crisps.
This event is for schools, although home educators are welcome too. Please book all tickets online.
