In collaboration with the National Hellenic Research Foundation

Young researchers from the National Hellenic Research Foundation's Science Institutes and universities in the UK will take children and adults on a journey through the miraculous world of biology, chemistry and physics.

Through simple yet impressive and entertaining experiments, they'll help us understand natural phenomena we see all around us and answer questions such as:

• What is DNA?
• Why are sunsets red and the sky blue?
• How are rainbows formed?
• What is medicine and how does it 'travel' through our bodies?
• Are there any liquids that boil without being heated at all?
• How does the breathalyser test work?

			Sunday 30 March 2008, 11 a.m. Body Building How exactly do secret codes in our genes determine who we are? How does the human body try to protect valuable genetic information? A group of UK scientists will present the spectacular world of DNA and proteins through a range of exciting experiments and scientific models.
			Sunday 6 April 2008, 11 a.m. Colouring and Warming Substances – Starting to Learn Interactive presentations and experiments by a group of researchers from the National Hellenic Research Foundation.
			Sunday 13 April 2008, 11 a.m. The Crystal Ball of Biology and the Cunning Medicine Game Interactive presentations and experiments by a group of researchers from the National Hellenic Research Foundation.
