\n\n\n\nScience Week at Combe Down Primary School 2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
June 25th 2019<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
During Science week 2019 we were joined once again by Dr Hamide Khanbareh. This time we showed the pupils how to make simple polymers and using cheese, grapes, and toothpicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nCrystal Growing at Combe Down Primary School<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
June 26th 2018<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Accompanied by Dr Hamide Khanbareh from mechanical engineering, we spent the day showing the Year 3 class at Combe Down School how to grow a crystal garden by adding metal salts to a silicate solution, “isinglass”. Once the metals start reacting with silicate, they grow like trees and make intricate shapes with different colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also talked with pupils about what scientists do, to see what perception pupils have about scientists and the work they do at the university. It was interesting to hear what such young pupils think about scientists. Already by 7-8 years, the assumption is that we all just mix chemicals in the laboratories. We wanted to bring other dimensions of our work and talked about computer simulations and working on big engineering structures, to show that there are many aspects to what scientists actually do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nCombe Down Primary School Science Week 2018<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
June 25th 2018<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
We were joined by staff and colleagues from across the Faculty of Science this week for science week at combe down school. Conducting a variety of experiments for individual classes and the whole school, ranging from reception classes to year 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nScience Week at Combe Down Primary School 2017<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
May 22nd 2017<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
As part of Science Week we have organised experiments in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes in Combe Down Primary School today. We did acidity measurements, looked at gels and surfactants, made a conducting circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nVisit to Year 2 Pupils at Combe Down Primary School<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
December 2nd 2016<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
I have visited today two Year 2 classes at Combe Down Primary School with “A story of a fooled Dragon”. This is a story in which an unfriendly dragon attacks the kingdom and demands gold. The king has no gold so he asks a scientist to make gold. After she struggles to make gold, the king asks her to make something else that looks like gold. She experiments with different metals, and eventually makes something looking like gold, but made of lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The demonstration experiments are based on Cu, Fe and Pb precipitation reactions, and lead iodide which precipitates as a beautiful yellow precipitate does look like gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nVisit to Year 6 Pupils at Combe Down Primary School<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
October 11th 2016<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Together with Dr. Steve Flower, we have visited two year 6 classes today at Combe Down Primary school, where we have talked about ionic compounds and precipitation reactions. Pupils were given two compounds to mix to produce Fe and Cu precipitates and we did a demonstration of lead iodide precipitate formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pupils enjoyed the activity and enjoyed asking questions about the precipitation and other topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use of membranes in cleaning waterPolymerisation and chain formationIrreversible reactions\u200bWe received amazing feedback from all the kids, such as: “science is cool”, “I want to do experiments too”, “molecules are fun” and others<\/p>\n\n\n\n
