TESTING TABLE
A place for visitors to experience the joy and messiness involved in the discovery of elements. Led by the mediators, the visitors performed various experiments of increasing complexity to unearth the properties of various elements. From splitting water through electrolysis to tracking invisible gases through experiments, this setup helped the visitor understand how elements and compounds are all around us. This exhibit was procured with the support of Rajendra Rane and the Royal Society of Chemistry.
