Community Lab Teacher Training – Lab Mix-Up

The Community Lab, in Discovery Park, provides schools in Kent and Medway with access to an industrial-standard laboratory and equipment.

Working with scientists, students can achieve national curriculum objectives, using science equipment they typically could not access in schools. Providing students with this experience not only allows them memorable learning experiences, it can also inspire and encourage young people to pursue further education and future careers in STEM areas. With access to this ‘real-world’ laboratory, secondary school students can apply their knowledge and skills in context. Please note the children need to be aged over 16 years old to be able to attend the student events of Community Lab.

This service is free to all schools. The only requirement needed is for a member of your science team to attend a training session.

Community Lab Teacher Training Session on Lab Mix-Up: Chemical testing, reactions, reagents, compounds, material structure and properties, reactivity, liquid separation, Thin Layer Chromatography, IR and NMR spectroscopy.
