Experiments in pubs? Teaching chemical associations between beer and cola and arousing interest in science? Such a thing is possible in a place that at first sight seems very unorthodox as an out-of-school learning and teaching location. With the innovative scientific communication format “PubScience—The Long Night of Experiments”, students from grades 10–12 present exciting chemical experiments in front of a large audience in various pubs throughout the evening and discuss the theoretical background behind them with the visitors. This article first provides an insight into current developments and projects in the fields of scientific communication and out-of-school learning before the project-relevant theoretical foundations on scientific communication are presented in more detail. Subsequently, the program of PubScience, which was implemented in the summer of 2016 in the German city of Osnabrück, is described in detail before the empirical study accompanying the project will be presented. In this study, the students participating in PubScience as well as a selection of the visitors were interviewed in a quantitative questionnaire study at different survey times. The results show, among other things, that the event format is highly suitable to arouse and deepen motivational attitudes among the students and to provide the visitors with positive attitudes toward the scientific ability of the students. It is also possible to significantly improve the student’s self-concept with regard to their own experiments due to the setting of the PubScience campaign. It was shown that the project is a useful supplement to traditional science education and gives the students the opportunity to present their knowledge and skills in chemistry to a large audience.

“公共科学-漫长的实验之夜”：学生们在就餐设施中展示化学实验

在酒吧里做实验？教授啤酒和可乐之间的化学联系并引起人们对科学的兴趣？这样的事情是可能的，因为乍看之下这是校外学习和教学的地方，这是非常不合常规的。借助创新的科学交流形式“公共科学-漫长的实验之夜”，来自10至12年级的学生在整个晚上都在众多酒吧中的大量观众面前进行了激动人心的化学实验，并与访客讨论了背后的理论背景。在更详细介绍与项目相关的科学传播理论基础之前，本文首先提供对科学传播和校外学习领域当前发展和项目的见解。随后，PubScience程序 该项目于2016年夏季在德国奥斯纳布吕克（Osnabrück）实施，在对该项目进行实证研究之前对其进行了详细描述。在这项研究中，参加PubScience的学生以及一些访问者在不同的调查时间接受了定量问卷研究。结果表明，该活动形式非常适合激发和加深学生的激励态度，并为访客提供对学生科学能力的积极态度。通过设置PubScience广告系列，还可以显着改善学生在自己的实验方面的自我概念。
