Chemistry is fun


The world we live in is made up of solids, liquids and gases and there are lots of familiar examples involving a changing of state between two of them. For example when we make a cup of tea we boil the liquid and produce a gas and when we make an ice-lolly we freeze the liquid to produce a solid.

This demonstration lecture is designed to illustrate the changes of state that occur when we move from one phase to another in a fun, exciting and truly memorable way, and is an excellent vehicle for teaching children the correct terminology for these processes and the changes which occur when moving from one phase to another.
