From Glowsticks to Rhubarb
A series of demonstrations and experiments that can be used in the rates of reaction topics of KS3 and KS4 Chemistry. I'll be using not only glow-sticks and rhubarb, but custard, coffee whitener and alka-seltzer as well. These experiments will expand your repertoire and can be used as hooks to introduce the topic and to enthuse students (and teaching colleagues!) and to add variety to re-cap and revision lessons. The session is suitable for all technicians and it is hoped that there will be an opportunity to discuss and share delegates' own favourite rates experiments.

SAPS: Is it biology or is it chemistry?
In this session we will be looking at some of the resources from SAPS and will cover: 
  • Plants need chemicals 
  • how to make your own plant food
  • which seeds to use 
  • how seedlings need different chemicals for good growth
Can we extract oil from olives? Can we find out what the pH of a leaf is? Do plants have reactions? How to use equipment which may have been sitting in the back of cupboards for ears will also be included.

Understanding chemistry through microscale practical work
Microscale chemistry allows students to carry out practicals more quickly, safely, and cheaply, and allows for better observations, leading to improved skills development and understanding of chemical ideas. I'll discuss some common practicals that can be used immediately in the classroom and highlight some of the cheap and easy to make equipment that can be used.

Recommended resources include the new book Understanding Chemistry Through Microscale Chemistry, which will be available in the ASE/Millgate Bookshop during Conference or online at www.millgatehouse.co.uk
