Seventy-four Year 11 pupils set off by train on Tuesday 19.11.24 to the QUB-RSC Chemistry at Work exhibition at the Whitla Hall, Belfast.
The main aim of ‘Chemistry at Work’ is to show the many and varied ways in which the chemistry studied by pupils at school is used in the real everyday world. The Exhibition provided our pupils with the chance to see chemical-based companies and institutions presenting easily understood demonstrations of their use of chemistry at work. They were encouraged to participate in some of the demonstrations. The pupils particularly enjoyed the BOC gas/W5 demonstration which involved cloud generation, frozen balloons that self-inflated, condensing liquid oxygen out of the air and using it to help cotton wool burn more vigorously and using boiling liquid nitrogen to power a fly wheel.
Hopefully, this experience has stimulated an interest in chemistry, particularly in industry, and demonstrated some aspects of the importance of chemistry in our society.
The pupils were excellent ambassadors for the school. We would like to thank the Chemistry Department at Queen's University for their kind invitation to the event and Translink for their assistance in getting such a large party there and back safely.

Great post. I really enjoyed reading this article and found the information extremely useful and well organized.
Your first job, or just developing your pipeline, can seem like you’re shouting into the void. You send out a dozen pitches, refresh your mailbox every ten minutes and get absolute silence. In fact HubSpot data shows that cold emailing has a conversion rate of less than two percent.The answer is to stop chasing for leads and have the leads chasing you. To get freelance projects rolling in frequently, you need to develop an online presence that acts as a magnet while you sleep.
Thank you for writing such a post. I really like that you shared this with us. I will look forward…
Thanks for such an insightful article. I learned several new things that will definitely help me in the future. Read blog
