Xperimania science competition for schools: explore the properties of every day objects

To help teachers make science lessons more fun and interesting, Xperimania, now in its second year, will concentrate on the properties of familiar objects and how chemistry contributes to them. Xperimania is for 10-20 year old students in secondary schools from across Europe, and aims to boost their interest in science, which is a priority for Europe to remain a knowledge-based economy fostering innovation.

 
 


 
 

How chemistry contributes to the challenges of climate change

8 schools from 3 countries participated in the first Xperimania II chat held in Spanish. The chat expert, Enrique Espi, Senior Toxicologist from Repsol YPF in Madrid, explained to the students how to minimize CO2 in housing and how petrochemistry contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

 
 

Take part in the students’ survey on Xperimania

Even if the second year of Xperimania is starting, we want to know your opinion on Xperimania. Teachers had their say in a survey conducted in the summer and now it’s the students’ turn! The survey takes less than five minutes but is important to develop an even better Xperimania project in the future. Take the survey here.
