Join Stefan and his long-suffering daughter, Poppy, for edible chemical reactions, vortex cannons, explosions, glowing drinks and tales of hidden insects in our marshmallows. The show is packed with chemistry, biology and physics and there are loads of demos you can try at home... plus a few you really can’t!
