Hi
I am a PhD student in Chemitry but am suppose to be doing some outreach work
with some children (aged most likely under 10) on the, "Science of Harry
Potter". One subject I have to talk about is alchemy and I wanted to make it
as interactive as possible for the children by carrying out some
experiments.
Does anyone have any suggestions for simple experiments? I have had a look
on the internet but am looking for experiments that don't need the presence
of a fume hood, bunsen burner or complicated equipement as I am going to be
giving the talk in a museum lecture theatre.
Cheers
Katherine
PS The other topics I am suppose to be covering are:
- illusions
- magnetism/levitation
- mechanics of flight
- magical creatures
- herbal remedies
I already have some simple hands on experiments and talks for most of these
subjects but any other suggestions would be great.
