In Science Whaaaat? participants can look forward to an afternoon of science-filled activities, these hands-on experiment videos.
Record Attempt
Singapore Science Festival 2020 will also aim to set a first-ever virtual science record for the Singapore Book of Records for the “Most number of people doing a science experiment together on an online platform”.
Organised on 8 August 2020, participants will simultaneously conduct the “Magic Milk” experiment, led by a Science Educator from Science Centre Singapore, via Zoom, to create a visually stunning experiment based on the scientific properties of surface tension using just milk, ink and dish soap!
Singapore Science Festival 2020 is jointly organised by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and Science Centre Singapore.
