Webinar: Money Matters – Simple Science Experiments with Coins and Notes

Join David, Rute and guests for a hands-on exploration of surprising science experiments using everyday coins and banknotes. Based on the new Money Matters booklet, this webinar invites participants to experiment live and discover how simple materials can reveal fascinating STEM concepts.
During the session, the presenters will demonstrate their favourite activities from the booklet and guide you through experiments you can try immediately — ideally with a few coins and notes at hand. The ideas are suitable for students of all ages and for both the classroom and at-home learning.

The teaching material is availbale for free download here: Money Matters – Simple Science Experiments.

Please be aware of your time zone, the webinar is at 17:30-18:30 CET (Berlin time).
