On Wednesday 6th March at 2pm Natalie Paul, a PhD student from The University of Sheffield, will present 'The Chemistry of Colour':
Natalie's aim is to discuss aspects of the AS and A2 syllabus and then to illustrate how these evolve and converge during university level study in an exploration of colour. This will deepen students understanding of their current studies and provide an insight into what studying Chemistry at university is like.
If you have a group of students you would like to participate in this session please contact Rob Cullis at Virtually University:
