2011 Faraday Science Show for ChildREn and AdultsActions and Reactions in Physics & Chemistry!Sunday, December 11th 2011, 2:00-3:30 pm PDF flyer for this event
We hope to see you all next year too! In 1826, physicist Michael Faraday founded the Children's Christmas Lectures at London's Royal Institution. His goal was to communicate to children the excitement of scientific discovery. In keeping with the spirit of those lectures, students and faculty at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UBC will present our eighth Faraday Science Show: Actions and Reactions in Physics & Chemistry! To celebrate the International Year of Chemistry, we will be presenting together with the UBC Chemistry Outreach Program for the very first time! Join us to learn about "actions and reactions." What are the physical forces involved in an explosion? How do planets and moons react to gravity? Where did the energy come from in a nuclear power plant? What is the physics behind chemical reactions? And how do chemicals play tricks - changing colours on time in front of our eyes like clocks and traffic lights, without anyone touching? This is going to be a fun show that your whole family will enjoy!! This show is suitable for children of ALL AGES, and even for adults who are young at heart! This event will be held in the Hebb Theatre (2045 East Mall on UBC campus) on Sunday, December 11 from 2 to 3:30pm. The show is free of charge and open to the public, but bring non-perishable food items to support the Greater Vancouver Food Bank!. Everybody is invited! We would like to thank the UBC Department of Chemistry Outreach Program for joining us this year! PDF flyer for this eventDirections to the Hebb Theatre and parking information.
