Family fun day – The Chemical History of the Candle: Faraday’s popular science 150 years on

Witness modern recreations of some of the awe inspiriting demonstrations first performed by Michael Faraday in his 1848 Christmas Lectures.


Witness modern recreations of some of the awe inspiriting demonstrations first performed by Michael Faraday in his 1850 Christmas Lectures – see water explode in your hand, soap bubbles turn into balls of flame and metals ignite! There’ll be dozens of hands on activities for kids and families – identifying the hottest part of the Bunsen flame, making coloured fireballs and intricate wax formations.
This event coincides with ‘The Big Draw’ and there will be the chance to work with the Ri’s artist-in-residence to draw yourself in the audience of a Christmas Lecture...
Family fun days are a day of hands-on science fun for the whole family! There are a range of activities, exciting demonstrations and captivating talk. Come along to experience it for yourself.
If you still have some time left over from all the fun, why not take an interactive tour of our exhibition using our hand held eGuides? They're free, fun and easy to use and will give you a glimpse into the wonders of the Ri, past and present.
