Chemistry of Fire

Teadusteater

Entrance with centre ticket

30 min

Age 10+

What is burning and what do you need to make something burn? Which materials burn and which ones don't? Come and see the rain of fire, liquid oxygen, a bunch of awesome flames and - most importantly - explosions! It'll be a burning sensation!

Burning is an important process for us - it allows us to drive cars, heat our homes in winter and much more.

Aha, Saves the Day!

In this rescue-themed show we use fire and explosions to show you what happens if you disobey safety rules. And you'll realize why people say things such as "Dont leave a candle unattended", "Never use water to put out burning oil" or "Don't throw flour around the kitchen".

Aha, Sounds Great!

We're constantly surrounded by different sounds and noises (and we make some of them ourselves as well) But what is a sound wave and can we make an invisible wave visible? Come and find out! As a bonus, we'll make fire dance.

Aha, Blast Off!

What's a rocket and what kind of fuel does it use? Don't worry, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand! Let's fly through the history and explore the fascinating science behind space travel. Ad astra!

Let There Be Light!

In this optic-themed show we demonstrate how powerful light makes things explode and how sunscreen protects you from UV rays. You'll also learn what light is "made of" and how colours are formed.

Striking Experiments

In this show you will see our most spectacular and beloved experiments. For example, you will see mystical colour reactions, puffs of smoke, fireworks and different explosions. Of course all this will beheld in the spirit of AHHAA - fun and educational!

Amazing Air

Let's find out what is that substance we breathe in and how amazingly powerful it can be. Did you know that right now, there's more than 100 kg of air weighing down on your shoulders? Leaves you completely breathless, doesn't it?

Disgusting Digestion

When you eat a cake, do you ever wonder what happens to it next? In this science show, we'll learn about the human digestive track and how it works - and see the final result of all this hard work!

Crazy Chemistry

Our crazy chemist shows what they're capable of! You'll see why it's important to clean your room, explore the, ahem, more playful side of blood and maybe even learn some secrets of Hollywood movies!

Aha, High Voltage!

Let's take a closer look at the power that moves the whole modern world! We'll talk about static electricity, the direct current that flows in our household appliances and the dangerous and awe-inspiring alternating current. We'll see how electricity changes us and the world we live in, and what all of this has to do with magnets.

Attention, Brain!

Are you ready to really rack your brain? We’ll be testing your attention, coordination and memory. Be alert or you could miss out on something very important! In this show, created in collaboration with Psühhobuss, we'll do experiments and reveal card tricks that will teach you some amazing new information about yourself.

Colourful Chemistry

What is a chemical reaction? How can we change it? What or who is a catalyst? It's alright, we'll make these words fun and easy - and explain everything through vivid experiments, most notably multi-coloured flames.

Wondrous Water

Let's look at where water comes from, what are its three wondrous states and its physical and chemical properties. Though water is the central topic of this show, our experiments are far from watered down: we'll set fire to both the host of the show and water itself!

Extraordinary Egg

For an average human, egg is a fragile, but tasty food. But it can be so much more! This extraordinary show introduces you to the fine art of egg-walking and demonstrates what happens when you put eggs in a microwave. And we'll save an egg princess falling from a great height!
