About this Event
Back by popular demand, the Ri Demo Team and Innovator in Residence David Ricketts present their reimagining of the Faraday classic Christmas Lecture The chemical history of a candle. Originally delivered by Faraday in a series of 6 lectures, the chemical history was the most popular Christmas lecture Faraday gave, with over 700 people in attendance when he last delivered it in 1861. The RI demo team takes a modern interpretation of Faraday's original lecture and demonstration, to deliver Faradays' original series into a single lecture. They have curated an amazing array of demos to teach the physics and chemistry of the simple candle, of the physical world and life.
