Uni Outreach > Spectroscopy Tour

Description

Subject: Chemistry

To support teachers and students with their understanding of spectroscopy, ChemLabS hold several morning and afternoon sessions for groups of up to 50 students at a time.

Students are split into small groups and are guided around the department, visiting five different areas of analytical chemistry. All tours have sessions in:

  • mass spectrometry
  • infrared spectroscopy
  • nunclear magnetic resonance
  • tro from ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy(UV-Vis)
  • X-ray crystallography
  • scanning electron microscopy

Each 20 minute session is given by a technician, postgraduate chemist or an academic member of staff who is used to interacting with school students and who knows what elements are covered within examination specifications. Wherever possible, students gain hands-on experience.

Target Audience

Post-16 year olds.
