Event details

This very practical course led by Bob Worley shows how small-scale chemistry experiments can be set up quickly with clearly visible results and highlights the variety and many applications in school/college science.

What will the course include?

 

  • opportunity to try out many of the procedures and others will be demonstrated
  • guidance on carrying out demonstrations ranging from risk assessment to "performing"
  • indicators
  • precipitation
  • salt preparation
  • reaction kinetics
  • iron/sulfur reactions
  • working with toxic gases
  • carrying out small-scale vigorous reactions

What are the benefits of microscale?

  • more hands-on involvement for students
  • increased safety leading to the potential to carry out dangerous (even banned) experiments
  • a reduction in chemical usage and disposal costs (disposal is more expensive than buying chemicals), and cheaper replacement costs and durability of equipment
  • and encouragement to pupils to work with precision
  • many of the procedures are very quick, allowing more time for class work

Course Fee: £99.00

This is for a full day of professional development, all CLEAPSS course resources, lunch and refreshments.
