Year 12 Excursion to ANU Science Teaching Labs

On 6 September, Dr Humphrey and Ms Harris, accompanied the Year 12 Chemistry class to the ANU Science Teaching lab. The students had the opportunity to do an experiment, working with Dr Mark Ellison and his team of laboratory technicians and student demonstrators. After synthesising aspirin and paracetamol, the students tested the purity of their samples using an infrared spectrometer. The students were wonderful representatives of SFX and enjoyed the facilities used by first year university students.
