Y12 Chemistry

The best thing about Science is the opportunity to carry out experiments. Year 12 Chemists made and tested Biodiesel from waste vegetable oil, kindly donated by the wonderful people at our canteen. They have been learning about new technologies such as Ethanol and Hydrogen Fuel cells. When the Cooking with Chemistry students asked for a room swap to work on their PBLs they swapped their lab coats for aprons and, with Angela's kind assistance, investigated the effect of temperature, surface area to volume ratio, concentration and catalysts in a four in one special, making Egg and Chip sandwiches and cleaning up afterwards with Hydrogen Peroxide.
