2 days
Outcomes
The chemistry sessions will cover SCN-15a&b, 16a&b, 17b, 18a and 19a&b and will include:
- how to carry out some common demonstrations safely and effectively. (Eg alkali metals, methane bubbles, whoosh bottle etc..
- hands-on sessions on some of the common experiments carried out at this level (Elements compounds & mixtures, solvents and solubility, states of matter, simple chemical tests, acids, alkalis & indicators and more
- details of the skills required at this level. Handling chemicals safely, using the Bunsen and other heating equipment, Quickfit glassware, electrolysis etc.
In the Physics session, topics covered will include:
- the Van de Graff generator (safety, setting-up, safe use in the class, accessories, static electricity in general and fun experiments)
- multimeters (selection, set-up and use). Electrical circuits (series & parallel circuits, measuring current and voltage, simple theory and fault-finding in these circuits) SCN 3-09a
- forces (simple experiments to demonstrate tricky concepts, an introduction to Newton’s laws of motion, road safety, using newton balances) SCN 3-08a, SCN 4-08b
- the electromagnetic spectrum(refraction of light, colour mixing, radiations beyond the visible) SCN 3-11b
