The National Museum is holding a day of chemistry events to help encourage a greater enjoyment of science<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"\"

The National Museum Cardiff is hosting a chemistry themed event alongside the Royal Society of Chemistry and Cardiff University on Saturday 24th<\/sup> November in celebration of National Chemistry Week.<\/p>\n

The event<\/a>, entitled \u201cHands on Chemistry\u201d, will include an array of interactive workshops and activities. Visitors will be able to watch chemistry come to life in 3D videos, get hands-on with colourful chromatography, and use their smartphones as part of scientific experiments.<\/p>\n

There will also be a pedal-bike visitors can ride on, which will split water into hydrogen fuel.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese events are important to help generate public interest in science, and to demonstrate how important it is in everyday life,\u201d said Dr Emma Richards, who has helped organise the event.<\/p>\n

She continued to say, \u201cBreaking down these barriers is an important step to increase understanding of the impact that high-level research can have in developing new technologies across the full range of chemical sciences including medicinal and biological, industrial catalysis, and materials science.”<\/p>\n

\"\"

The \u201cHands on Chemistry\u201d event will be a welcome addition to the museum, who already have a large natural sciences section, including this whale skeleton<\/p>\n

National Chemistry Week runs every year, and is aimed at changing public perceptions of chemistry after the Royal Society of Chemistry published a report in 2015 which found 25% of adults<\/a> have a negative view of Chemistry as a result of school.<\/p>\n

As part of National Chemistry Week, The School of Chemistry at Cardiff University is also delivering a series of curriculum enhancing activities in secondary schools across Wales, encouraging teenagers to consider the career options available to them through studying chemistry.<\/p>\n

\u201cHands on Chemistry\u201d is aimed at people of all ages to encourage a greater enjoyment of Chemistry in a fun and relaxed environment.<\/p>\n

There will also be mineral display and a dark room tent to display how minerals appear\u00a0different colours in different lights.<\/p>\n

Experiment with something new, test your skills and get involved with this unique science-based event for all the family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
