Colleagues in the School of Chemistry are very active in endeavours that encourage young learners to pursue an education in science and facilitate the transition between school and University. We have received considerable support from a number of sources (HEFCW, SEP, RSC) over the last few years, and examples of these are listed here:
Chemistry CapturedChemistry Captured is an e-learning DVD of high quality videos of chemical reactions that would be difficult to demonstrate in schools. This valuable resource has been produced by Professor Peter Edwards and Mr Peter Hollamby of the School of Chemistry, in conjunction with the Royal Society of Chemistry. The complete library of videos can be viewed here. | |
We Come to You!Staff in the School of Chemistry are involved in the development of a range of presentations, ranging from exciting demonstrations of chemical reactions to interesting and informative public lectures. More information, including how to arrange one of these presentations, is available by clicking on the links below.
| You Come to Us!A full-day of practical workshops to introduce students to the methods chemists use to isolate and identify chemical compounds. Featuring a forensic investigation, quiz and prize-giving. Pupils from schools in the Monmouth area visit Cardiff University and gain an insight into the analysis of chemical compounds. |
