Legends speak of it, but so do history books! Somewhere between magic and science, alchemists have studied matter and its transformations for centuries; in fact, alchemy is often regarded as the forerunner of chemistry… but just how similar are these two disciplines really? Using symbols, transmutations and reactions that border on the magical, we’ll try to uncover the true science hidden behind this ancient and mysterious world. Recommended for ages 5–12.
