Water is all around us – most of the planet’s surface is covered with it, and it is the main substance inside you. In this exciting demonstration lecture, we will explore some of the surprising properties and reactions of this substance that you thought you knew so well.
How can a drop of water start a fire or cause an explosion? Why can’t you put a chip pan fire out with water, or boil an egg on Mount Everest? Come along and find out the answers to these questions and more!
Expect loud bangs; consequently, this event is more suitable for children aged 5+ years.
Supported by the Walters Kundert Charitable Trust.
