Just add water: For teachers and students
Dr Peter Wothers
Director of Studies in Chemistry, St Catharine’s College, Cambridge University
Water covers three quarters of our planet and makes up 70% of our bodies, but how much do we really know about H2O?
In this literally explosive demonstration, Dr. Peter Wothers examines the properties of water.
Dr Wothers is the UK’s answer to Dr Karl and has spent the past ten years passing on his knowledge and enthusiasm for science to a wider audience. He will be presenting a thought-provoking, energetic and action-packed show.
