The Magic of Chemistry

Is an entertaining lecture-demonstration that shows how exciting chemistry can be, and how it is an essential part of everyone's daily life. It is specifically aimed at students in third and transition years, before they choose their subjects for Leaving Certificate. The demonstration consists of about thirty colourful chemical spectacles - involving flashes, bangs, flames, colour changes , clock reactions , " egg-splosions", guessing games, cannon fire , and it finishes with sunset in Hawaii!

Cool & Sticky Science Experience the world of freezing, freaky, and fun fluids in this entertaining Science Show!!!

Using super-cool liquid Nitrogen, the ScienceWorks will explore the effects of cold temperatures on the states of matter and the surprising effects on living things. You might also get to taste the world's fastest ice cream. And if that isn't enough, get stuck into the science of fluids as we get our hands into the world of slimes and goes. Find out how to make your own sticky slimes but be careful that you don't get slimed!!!!

The Exhaling Sun Take a tour through the Solar System - Find out aboul The Solar Wind and how it influences life on earth and beyond.

Dr. Greenwood spent two years in California at NASA's jet Propulsion Laboratory, performing laboratory simulations of various phenomena found in space.

Musical Squares "Musical Squares" is a scientific "fun" lecture which is packed with sound and visual illustrations. It is suitable for all ages and requires no specialised knowledge of the subject at all. Mike and Wendy Gluyas explore many exciting aspects of sound and examine the vital role that it plays in our everyday lives - from communication and the production and enjoyment of music, to medical and industrial uses.
