| Summary: | Health and safety regulations cause many science teachers to shy away from exciting practical experiments. In Demonstrating Chemistry, Lynne Kyle, Head of Science at a London High School, shows her staff that there is still room for creativity and spectacle whilst observing recommendations from CLEAPSS (the Consortium of Local Education Authorities for the Provision of Science Services). During her 22 years at St. James, Lynne has overseen the implementation of ever-more rigorous safety procedures. Regular twilight sessions allow staff to share their best ideas. Lynne demonstrates safe ways to conduct experiments which will enthuse students. Following this session, biologist Wendy Butler chooses to include four experiments in a chemistry lesson on redox reactions with Year 11. endy's experiments are safe and fun, but not completely successful. To help boost her skill base, we see Wendy taking part in an training session with Bob Worley, chemistry expert. Bob gives Wendy tips which can make her performance more assured. Look out for burning bubble columns and an underwater version of the thermite reaction. |
