10th Chemistry Demonstration Workshop

Sponsored by the SSPC, the Faculty of Science and Engineering and Dept. of Chemical and Environmental Sciences, University of Limerick and Pharmachemical Ireland, the 10th Chemistry Demonstration Workshop will be held at the University of Limerick on the 27th June – 1st July. Registration now open! Email: sarah.hayes@ul.ie

The University of Limerick’s four day residential course will help teachers to become more confident in doing chemical demonstrations in school at Junior Certificate Science and Leaving Certificate level, and will cover safety aspects and the use of ICT in demonstrations. Teachers, working in pairs, will also be required to research, devise, test and present a 10-20 minute chemical magic show at the end of the course to their peers. These shows will be videoed and a copy of them provided on DVD after the course. You should also bring your favourite demo along to demonstrate and share with the other teachers. There will be opportunity during the course to watch experienced demonstrators live and on video, to access printed and internet resources on demonstrations, and to leave with materials and tested demonstrations for use in schools.
