• Question: If you plan to do exciting demonstrations in schools, ho do you plan to spread the £500 around? This is only a small sum of money, mabey only enough for 1 or 2 schools, so how can you choose one school to get the demonstartion? It doesn't seem possible.

      hello 08sdacey.
      This is a really good question.
      Its surprising how much stuff I could buy with £500 to come a demonstrate to schools. I agree i wouldnt be able to come to every school in the UK, but i’d make a special effort to come and demo my science in the schools i have interacted with on this site though live chats and questions.

      A lot of my experiment do not require special equipment, the only thing i would possibly need to buy specially is liquid nitrogen and the food ingrediants we would work with in our demo’s. I’d want to buy chocolate in its natural state to show you (cocoa beans).
      If i was to come to your school what would you want to see? 🙂
