Chemists from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Free Radical Chemistry and Biotechnology will present cool chemistry shows and hands on activities.
Make your own silly putty and scratch and sniff stickers; find out about glow sticks and forensic investigations; and be amazed by explosions and the magic of chemistry.
Presented by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Free Radical Chemistry http://www.freeradical.org.au/ .

Live science shows will be presented throughout the day:
Energy without CO2 show
The search for more efficient and clean ways to transform energy is one of the biggest challenges for Australian science.
With pops, bangs and flashes, Mick will demonstrate the way that the energy for transport, heating, lighting and cooking could be harnessed without generating CO2, and we’ll look at some new clean technology that will reduce the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Presented by Mick Moylan from the School of Chemistry, The University of Melbourne.
