What seems like magic to many, we can explain with chemistry. Experience with us the art of transforming substances and get to know chemistry at its best. Take a look at an organic synthesis laboratory and see for yourself through your own experiments that much of everyday life is actually chemistry and that it can do more than just "bang and stink". Our experiments are carried out with you under expert guidance. Fun and amazement are pre-programmed!
Our diverse selection of experiments:
The little companion for cold times: You know when you're cold and you happen to have a pocket warmer with you? It warms up with just one click, but how does it work? We show you how to make a pocket warmer with simple household remedies.
Searching for clues in drinking water: Many people know the MRI from hospital visits. Did you know that it is also available for small molecules? Here you will learn about MRI for molecules and how it can be used to analyze drinking water.
Luminous molecules: Why do some substances glow when you hold them under black light or shake them? Discover the magical world of luminescence with us.
A chemical traffic light: Traffic lights can often be annoying in everyday life, but certainly not chemical ones! Here you can build a shaking traffic light with an unusual circuit diagram.
From stench to fragrance: From a chemical point of view, many odorous substances and aromas are esters. However, they are usually produced from malodorous acids. You are welcome to sniff out how big the differences are.
Mixing possible: Throwing things together is easy, but how do you separate them again? We show you how to separate supposedly inseparable mixtures of substances using simple methods.
Red cabbage or red cabbage - that's the question here: why is there actually two names for this cabbage? And why it can do even more colors, only we can tell you.
Alchemy for beginners: You can make gold without the philosopher's stone. Here you will make "gold" from copper coins and zinc!
The emperor's sustainable clothes: How did people get colored clothes in the past without industry? Quite simply, with plant dyes! Here you can learn how to dye textiles traditionally and sustainably.
