During the Easter holidays, six lucky Year 9’s travelled to Oxford University to take part in “Materials and Chemistry Day”

Here are their comments about the trip:

“I thought it was a fun and educational trip.   We had loads of fun and enjoyed everything.”

“I learned a lot about density and other brilliant subjects like identifying plastics or creating chemicals.”

“We learned things such as how to make PVA glue into a bouncy ball and how to identify plastic.  We also had a competition of who could make the longest thread of nylon”.

“I liked making the rainbow out of different density coloured liquids.  Very interesting- especially the end lecture...”

“...I really enjoyed watching the blowing up of balloons and I got a free glow-stick!!!”

“I had such a fun time...  I definitely want to come on this trip again, thank you!”
