Magic of Chemistry
About the Event
Chemistry is always fun, mysterious, and exciting. Now, explore the concepts of chemistry as they are applied in the real world.
Application of chemistry is all around us. Exploring the concepts behind some of these applications is very exciting and magical. In this program, you will be hands-on exploring these concepts and bring various elements of science from other domains together. You will be enriched after conducting the following experiments and exploration activities and more:
- Determine which fruit juice has more vitamin C.
- Electrolysis of water – split water into Hydrogen and oxygen.
- Create crystals of common salt and copper sulphate and observe them under the microscope.
- Learn the chemistry of firecrackers using the flame test.
- Find pH value of common household substances.
- Learn types of basic chemical reactions.
- Make elephant toothpaste by performing catalysed reaction.
- Find which foods have carbs, sugar, proteins, fats, and vitamin C.
- Study Reaction Kinetics – what affects the rate of reaction.
- Make a fire extinguisher.
- Chromatography in science and arts.
- Electroplate with copper.
- Anodize an object of your choice.
- Make a super-absorbent diaper.
You will learn a lot of applications of chemistry in our day-to-day life. You will learn the concepts; you would relate concepts to the real world and you would have done some magical and some not-so-magical experiments.
