This lecture was recorded at the Ri on 19 December 2023. This was one of our family events, particularly suitable for those aged 7+.
Join senior chemistry lecturer Dr Katherine Haxton to explore some of the amazing chemistry to be found in our festive celebrations. Exciting demonstrations and experiment explain what is really going on when it snows, what's inside your Christmas meal, and the chemistry hidden inside the humble Christmas cracker.
We will even see what Christmas could be like in the future, and how chemistry could revolutionise festive celebrations around the world. A very happy Christmas from all at the Ri!
