“Science is the most important, the most beautiful and useful in our life, it has always been and will be the highest expression of love”

(A. Chekhov)

The Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation continues to plant love for science in children, nowadays Ukraine needs brilliant inventors and scientists more than ever. As a part of the Road to Life for Every Child program and the Good Cause Every Day! promo event together with the laboratory of scientific entertainment “Vesela Nauka” our Foundation has organized an interesting scientific workshop for boys and girls from a Makhovy family-type orphanage.

The renowned experimenter Professor Crocodile showed the children such a chemical element as silicon. The children have learned that from it people made flint, liquid glue, silicone.

In the chemistry workshop all the kids did a fabulous multi-colored silicate garden with chemical algae and jellyfish. With silicate glue, vinegar and special indicator the kids made  crimson “desert” in the cup and the world’s only solid acid. As the souvenirs from the workshop the kids took home handmade silicone “berries” in the sticks.

Future brilliant chemists from the Makhovy family-type orphanage went home with new knowledge and in high spirits. It was our aim, because with love in our hearts we are building a new world!
