Chemistry Show at Chughtai Public Library

Khwarizmi Science Society hosted an engaging chemistry show for children along with their parents in the basement of Chughtai Public Library. The event featured a series of interactive demonstrations that showcased the fascinating world of chemistry through fun and educational experiments. The show began with a basic introduction to chemistry by Abdullah, setting the stage for the experiments to follow. The children were introduced to fundamental concepts and the importance of chemistry in everyday life.

The first experiment fire proof money” involved trying to burn currency notes, but thanks to a special solution made with ethanol and water, they did not burn. The children were amazed to see the notes catch fire but remained undamaged, illustrating the concept of combustion and the protective properties of the ethanol-water solution.

Next in line there was the creation of a carbon sugar snake using a mixture of sugar and baking soda. The demonstrators prepared the snake and then carried it into the groups of children, who watched in awe as the snake formed. This experiment demonstrated the principles of chemical reactions and decomposition.

Following the carbon sugar snake, the demonstrators created elephant toothpaste. This colorful and foamy reaction excited the children and showed them the rapid decomposition of hydrogen peroxide with the help of yeast acting as a catalyst.

To conclude the show, the children were divided into groups to conduct the elephant toothpaste experiment themselves. This hands-on activity allowed them to mix the ingredients and observe the reaction up close, reinforcing their understanding of the chemical process involved.

Khwarizmi Science Society provided an exciting and educational experience not only for children but for the parents as well. The event taught them about various chemical reactions and also encouraged curiosity and hands-on learning. The interactive nature of the show ensured that the children were actively engaged, making the chemistry concepts memorable and enjoyable.
