Xperimania is a new project aimed at boosting young people’s interest in science across Europe.
A joint venture between the European Chemical Industry Council and European Schoolnet, the project aims to help students in secondary school classes (pupils aged 10-20) and their teachers understand the wide variety of applications of chemistry, and how this fascinating science has contributed to the evolution of many day-to-day items.
Participating in the following activities provides students with a unique opportunity to stimulate their scientific and analytical skills:
Equality:
Take part in 2 competitions, related to this year’s theme of the IYC: “Chemistry – our life, our future”. Xperimania is running these competitions to increase female student interest in Chemistry
Xperimania Science Ambassadors:
Check out all the activities conducted in the workshops, with inspiring and interactive chemistry and physics experiments
Check out the property:
Investigate the properties of a familiar object through simple hands-on experiments
Timeline of everyday objects:
Read-up on past discoveries and present the scientists’ findings
Hands on experiments:
Set up an easy and fun experiment related to petrochemistry and materials, and upload lab reports on this website
The content of Xperimania is available in 6 languages: English, French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish. However teachers and pupils from all European countries are warmly invited to participate.
