5th Year Chemistry students entered a Curious Experiments video competition organised by Marsh's Library. The deadline was Tuesday, 30th April 2013.
Over the last few weeks, me, Sae and Rachel have been working on Curious Experiments, a competition set up by Marsh's Library. In this we had to submit a video of us doing at least 5 experiments inspired by an 18th Century Scientific Poster, suggesting 50 experiments "For the Amusement anf Entertainment of Ladies as well as Gentlemen".
