Carleton University’s Chemistry Department is back to blow your mind with its fifth annual Chemistry Magic Show, an event that attracted more than 1,300 people last year!
This free, one-hour show features fun for the whole family, with substances that explode at the touch of a feather, spontaneous combustion, magical spoons that disappear before your eyes, amazing colour changes, things that glow in the dark and exciting new tricks.
Check out the hands-on activity room where you can make your own Olympic medals, create ice cream using liquid nitrogen, make your own slime and learn how your nose can tell if a molecule is left- or right-handed.
