Subject: Chemistry
Students complete a practical synthesis or separation using the university laboratories and equipment. Students then analyse their synthesised compounds using TLC, NMR and IR spectroscopy to deduce what they have made and to check purity. This gives them the opportunity to experience new techniques which will not be available to them at school and allows them to perceive subjects, such as spectroscopy, from the post-16 syllabus in context.
Post-16 year-olds.
