Chemistry ‘magic’ at CSU

13 FEBRUARY 2015

A chemistry magic show with 'screaming jelly babies' and 'elephant's toothpaste' will be a highlight of the HSC Chemistry Days at CSU in Wagga Wagga next week. CSU academics will share their passion for science with more than 250 year 12 students at the annual event, which is held in conjunction with the Eastern Riverina Science Teachers Association (ERSTA). CSU lecturer in chemistry and program leader for the Bachelor of Science at CSU, Dr Celia Barril said there are plenty of hands on activities. "Students will be performing titrations, pH measurements and learning about Atomic Absorption, which are part of the HSC Chemistry Curriculum," she said. "It's also an opportunity for students to learn about applications of science to everyday life by interviewing scientists and get a taste of university life."

Media Note:

The HSC Chemistry Day will be held from Monday 16 February to Friday 20 February at the National Life Science Hub (NaLSH), building 289, near car park 25 off Nathan Cobb Drive at CSU in Wagga Wagga. Media are invited to attend from 1:30pm to 3pm but must wear covered shoes, lab coats and safety glasses to enter the laboratory. Contact CSU Media to attend.
