The Chemistry challenge! What happens when you turn things around in Chemistry? NO step-by-step instructions, NO lab report to prepare before starting. The result of the experiment is already in front of you, you know what materials to use (or almost…) but you have absolutely no idea how to do it and what will happen in the process. Children from the age of 10 and up to adults take on the challenge! Will you join in?

The most fun experiments from hands-on activities in Copernicus Science Centre "Think out of the box" - such a common sentence... But! We will try to make our boxes not that common! Come to our stand and choose one! In each of the boxes we hide one experiment. We have chosen these experiments from Copernicus Science Centre hands-on activities, which we consider the most fun! Let's have some fun and delightful moments around science activities!

BLIND DATE WITH...CHEMISTRY! Teaching chemistry to visually impaired people is challenging! In addition to the theoretical concepts that can sometimes remain abstract and difficult to understand, it is necessary to propose models that can be experienced through other senses than sight. Experience blind chemistry with us through experiments with safe to touch and smell reagents to introduce the world of chemistry in an inclusive way.

DECIPHER THE GENETIC CODE USING LEGO! There are plenty of visual tools out there that teach the basic concept of DNA, but many of them require an understanding of the underlying chemical details and structure of the biomolecule. Come and play with us and discover a simple yet colourful way of learning how DNA encodes the message of life. Can you read the genetic alphabet and master the skill of DNA coding?

Paper Airplanes Workshop Get ready to soar to new heights with our paper airplanes physics workshop! In this hands-on workshop, you will learn the principles of flight and how to apply them to make your own paper airplanes. With the guidance of our instructors, you'll explore the physics of lift, drag, and weight, and how they all work together to keep a paper airplane in the air. You'll experiment with different paper types, folding techniques, and designs, and discover the secrets to making your planes fly farther and faster. One of the models holds the former world distance record. So grab some paper and get ready for takeoff! We will be 4 presenters from Schwartz/Reisman Science Education Centers, Israel Dr. Ronen Mir Alex Levin Hanoch Bar Nitzan Tal Mor
