  1. Project Presentation 1 Sophie Eccles Redland Green School, Bristol

  2. Redland Green School 2 • Open fully since September 2007. • Pupils in years 7, 8 and 12. • Bristol’s new flagship school. • 11-16 school. • The North Bristol Post 16 Centre. • Special Claremont School facility.

  3. Why I Went to Redland Green 3 • To be extra help in science lessons. • To start up and run a science club. • To give extra tuition to less able post 16 students. • To survey post 16 students

  4. Why I Went to Redland Green 4 • Use chemistry to inspire and excite pupils. • Demystify chemistry and university. • Encourage chemistry at higher education. • Be a chemistry student role model.

  5. Why I Went to Redland Green 5 • Learn and improve - explaining complex ideas in simple language. - dealing with difficult questions and behaviour. - organising and coordinating large groups and their activities.

  6. Science Club 6 • Held once a week • Years 7 & 8 • Attendance grew and varied between 12-22 • Worked with physics UAS student, the Head of Science and other science staff

  7. Set up and Materials 7 For each session we - researched a topic, good demonstrations and experiments that the pupils could do. - produced a power-point presentation. - produced a handout. - did a risk assessment.

  8. Science Club – Dry Ice 8 Demonstrations • Expanding rubber glove • Screeching under pressure • Colour changes with pH variation Pupil Activity • Dry ice in shallow or deep, cold or hot water and adding washing up liquid

  9. Fireworks and Flame Tests 9 Demonstrations • How to do the experiment (safely) • Which compounds produced which colours Pupils Activity • ‘Guess the compound’ from the flame test colour.

  10. 9

  11. Making Hand warmers-Investigating Exothermic Reactions 10 • Given their task. • Work out which masses of CaCl2 they would test.

  12. 10

  13. Making Hand warmers-Investigating Exothermic Reactions 10 • Measured temperature rise of the water and plotted a graph with their results.

  15. Making Hand warmers-Investigating Exothermic Reactions 10 • Read off ideal mass from the graph. • Make the heat packs.

  16. Heat Energy and Combustion 11 Demonstrations • Candle under beaker. • Chip pan fire. Discussion of the fire triangle Demonstrations • Methanol rockets • Non-burning £5 notes

  17. Heat Energy and Combustion 11 Discussion • Explosive hydrogen – Hindenburg Disaster Experiment • Hydrogen squeaky pop • Collection of gas under water
