L6 Chemistry Club students explored the iodine clock reaction, enabling them to investigate reaction rates and gaining a deeper understanding of chemical kinetics. A fascinating and visually pleasing way to see chemistry in action!

@SHSKSchool @manorprep @Y5Y6ManorPrep We loved hosting these wonderful Year 5 students - what a fabulous morning 🙌🏻 👩🏻‍🔬🧪🔥

[St Helen and St Katharine @SHSKSchool]

We’re delighted to welcome @manorprep for a special Chemistry lesson on materials - Mrs Cartridge is explaining how the properties of materials are influenced by how their particles are arranged, and Year 5 get to do practical experiments to put their knowledge to the test

[SHSK Chemistry Dept @SHSKChem]

@manorprep @SHSKSchool It was an absolute pleasure - the students were a delight!👩🏻‍🔬🧪🔥

[The Manor Prep @manorprep]

Year 5 had quite the reaction when visiting @shskschool for a hands-on science lesson with Head of Chemistry, Mrs. Partridge! The children learnt about the properties of materials through fun and engaging practical experiments.
