Since 1987 the Education sub-committee of the Manchester and District Section of the Royal Society of Chemistry has held an annual chemistry competition for schools within the Greater Manchester area.
The event is a day of activities held in the Summer Term
The activities usually consist of three sections:
1 A quiz section including KS3/KS4 chemistry knowledge, general chemical knowledge chemical wordsearches and much more.
2 Questions relating to a live Flash Bang Chemistry demonstration
3 Laboratory exercises held in the teaching laboratories of Manchester Metropolitan University
Although there can only be one "winner" the emphasis is very much on Chemistry fun and there are many prizes awarded for different parts of the day. We hope you will be able to join us!
