Family Fun Day: The Modern Alchemist

When medieval alchemists staged spectacular stunts in front of royalty they never revealed the secrets of their mystical potions and fire-breathing creations. Today’s chemists can perform equally impressive feats, but they do so to explain and explore the extreme frontiers of our material world. Come along to a day of family fun and get hands on with some of the elements that make up the world around us. You can even try some of the demos from the 2012 Christmas Lectures for yourself.
Family Fun Day activities are suitable for 6-12 year olds though older and younger siblings also very welcome.
