CSU Chemistry Study Day

Screaming jelly babies, atomic absorption spectroscopy, titrations and elephant oral hygiene were all on the agenda for the Chemistry HSC study day attended by our senior chemistry class last Wednesday. After donning the white labs and mandatory safety glasses the students performed a wide variety of first-hand investigations and they were given the opportunity to discuss chemistry career options with practising scientists.

All activities were very relevant to the HSC course and the day provided a valuable insight into what tertiary studies in Science would be like. It was a great day for both students and the teacher and it was thrilling to see that all glassware (particularly the beakers) survived the experience.
