Lifetime Lab “Chemistry It’s Elementary” Show
Cork
primary school pupils will help celebrate 2011 as the International
Year of Chemistry with Lifetime Lab as “Chemistry Its Elementary” comes
to Cork
Institute of Technology on Thursday October 20th and Friday 21st October.
Over
1200 school children from across the city will journey from alchemy to
chemistry on a whistle stop tour of gases and the states of matter,
density,
acids and bases, chromatography, crystals, metals, fireworks and much
more over.
“Chemistry
Its Elementary” introduces primary school pupils to the elements, the
building blocks
of our universe, beginning with Hydrogen and finishing with Calcium.
It’s Elementary showcases chemistry through lots of activity and
interaction, offering an introduction to the periodic table and the
first twenty elements; where they are found and the quirky
things they do. There will be lots of experiments and information about
the elements, their properties, their occurrence and their uses with
many of the experiments suitable for teachers to recreate in class.
Mervyn
Horgan, manager of Lifetime Lab said “We were looking for an event to
mark the international year of chemistry and received fantastic support
from
MSD, CIT and PharmaChemical Ireland when the idea was discussed;
through close collaboration and synergy Lifetime Lab is able to bring a
marquee science event to a large Cork audience, we also included
transport to and from the venue making the event more
accessible and attractive for schools to participate”.
