This event is for parents of pupils in Years 12-14.
This RSC-sponsored event is aimed at GCSE chemistry students (Years 11-12) and comprises a series of short, interactive talks from local companies who use chemistry in their business activities.
The main aim of ‘Chemistry at Work’ is to show the many and varied ways in which the chemistry studied by children at school is used in the everyday world.
The Exhibition will provide pupils, aged 14-16, with the chance to see chemical based companies and institutions presenting easily understood demonstrations of their use of chemistry at work. Children will be encouraged to participate (under supervision) in the demonstrations which will be lively and interactive. It is hoped that this experience will stimulate an interest in chemistry, particularly in industry, and will show some aspects of the importance of chemistry in our society.
BOOKING FOR THE EXHIBITION
You are invited to send at least one group of up to 25 pupils to the exhibition which will be strictly programmed. The number of groups to be accepted is limited and allocations will be made in order of receipt of applications. If numbers permit, it may be possible to accept more than one group from a school.
Each group MUST be accompanied by a teacher and will spend 15-20 minutes at each of six exhibits during a 2½ hour session.
Sessions will last from 9.40 a.m. to 12.15 p.m. and from 1.00 p.m. to 3.30 p.m.
