Investigating the Periodic Table with Experiments - with Peter Wothers

We celebrate 150 years of the Periodic Table and Mendeleev's genius by braving the elements from Argon to Zinc in this demonstration filled show. Dr Peter Wothers is a Teaching Fellow in the Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge and a Fellow and Director of Studies in Chemistry at St Catharine’s College. Aside from lecturing to Natural Science undergraduates at Cambridge, he is involved with a number of projects bridging the transition between sixth-form and university.
