Welcome to Kitchen Chemistry

Welcome

Welcome to the home of the Kitchen Chemistry Outreach Project on the web. Experiments are broken down under topics in the Experiments menu, but can also be searched by keyword. Avogadro’s Lab links to articles written for The Mole – a publication from the Royal Society of Chemistry. The “More Information” menu links to additional stuff about the activities of the Kitchen Chemist, such as a list of shows, and pictures of molecules that can be manipulated.

Browse through the pages, search for keywords, take a look at the photos, try some of the experiments, and leave your own tips and tricks as comments on the pages or, even better, use the discussion forum.

About

The Kitchen Chemistry Outreach Project developed in partnership with Scifest Africa from a simple science show. In these pages you will find resources that have been produced for the science show, some adapted from a course at Futurelearn, and more.

These pages are under continual development. Please send an email to
info@kitchenchemistry.uk or subscribe to the blog to be kept up to date with changes and additions.
