S585: Spell book of Everyday Magic: Chemistry for Daily Life in Splash 2022 (Apr. 02, 2022)
Why should you never trust an atom? Because they make up everything! Everything you do and see in your homes, kitchens and daily lives is because of chemistry. We’ll get to the real questions in this class. How can I light my hands on fire? Why is cold soda significantly better? Why did your mom always tell you to wash your hands with water AND soap? How does a small metal cylinder power your remote? In this class, learn about how to make connections between often detached textbook principles from chemistry like acids and bases and polarity to occurrences we all care about on a day to day basis. Come join us to learn about life and see some sick demos.
