Predicting chemical reactions

About

In this three hour introduction module, learners dive into the world of elements and the possibilities of chemistry. The day starts with a brief introduction to the periodic table, exploring how it is organised in order to learn some basic rules of chemical reactions. This is the foundation for all chemists and essential if we don't want to destroy the lab! In the second session learners apply their new understanding by coding reactions between two elements... and discovering the consequences!

Suggested Class

 
What would that habitat sound like?

Developed by Elaine Chew

In this trial module, learners are challenged to use code to create the perfect backtrack to their very own nature documentary. By discovering the location and importance of animal communities, populations and ecosystems, learners can imagine the soundscape of a particular habitat and apply their understanding of the organisms found in a particular ecosystem. This is the ideal module to explore STEAM and skills based learning.
