¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº In Your Shopping Basket

21 November 2017 18:00-19:00, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom


Introduction
Newcastle University, in partnership with the RSC Newcastle and North-East Coast Local Section, presents:

A ¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº Demonstration Lecture for RSC ¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº Week 2017:
  
"¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº in Your Shopping Basket"

Dr Peter Hoare (Newcastle University)

This presentation is designed to show that ¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº isn't just done by strange-looking people in white coats in laboratories , universities and industry, but affects us in our everyday lives, even when we go shopping!

It was written jointly by Newcastle University School of ¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº staff member Dr Peter Hoare and Mrs Anne Willis from the School of Life Sciences at Northumbria University, when they were both on secondment as RSC School Teacher Fellows in their respective universities in 2008-09.

It was originally aimed at students in years 3 - 6, i.e. primary schools, but since its first presentation at Walker School in April 2009, it has also been successfully delivered to a variety of audiences of different ages across Great Britain and Northern Ireland to a total audience well in excess of 50,000!

It thus lends itself most appropriately to a primary or middle school (yr5 - 8) audience and also families with children of those ages as there are clear curriculum links to states of matter, changes of state, properties of materials and both physical and chemical changes.

The presenter, a former chemistry teacher in a Northumberland school (with over 20 years experience), has a wealth of experience in designing and delivering educational and entertaining chemistry demonstration lectures to audiences aged from 4 to 94 across NE England and increasingly further afield.

One performance:

6.00pm for both schools, families and the general public.
