University of Birmingham Scientist Visit Year 1

Dr Zoe Schnepp from the University of Birmingham recently visited Year 1 children. This was part of a project funded by the Royal Society of Chemistry to bring chemistry equipment and lessons to three Tamworth Primary Schools.

The children had a wonderful time experimenting with a process called ‘chromatography’. This is used to separate mixtures. They also learned how chromatography is used by scientists to solve crimes!
