Our popular “Chemistry at Work” event, running annually since 2000, will be taking place from Tuesday 19th to Thursday 21st June 2012 at the Milton Keynes City Discovery Centre. It is open to students in Key Stages 3 & 4 of all abilities from Triple-Science to Special School students . Schools attend from 09.45 to 15.00 and the students (in groups of  15 to 20) experience eight demonstrations given by experts who show how chemistry and the related sciences are part of everyday life and work.

Teachers interested please contact us for more information.

The Royal Society of Chemistry are producing a film of our Junior Chemistry at Work Event “REAL SCIENCE” and the similar event in Tilbury to advertise these events on their website. I will post a link to the resulting video when it is published.

The demonstrators and the school enjoyed their Chemistry at Work day on Wednesday 16th November. Many demonstrators asked to be kept informed about our next Chemistry at Work days (see dates page ”look for more”). They said they would like to take part again and the school said they would like to host the event again in 2012, date to be decided.

Thanks to all of the demonstrators, our “REAL SCIENCE – Junior Chemistry at Work” event in Milton Keynes was a great success. A total of 518 Year 6 pupils from Milton Keynes, Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire came and took part in the demonstrations in groups of  about 15 to 20, over the three days.
