A hands-on day at the Applied Sciences dept of the University of Brighton last week, when some of our Y11s got to put on white coats and learn about studying science at university.
They did electrophoresis in the Biology lab, studied microplastics in the Geography dept, experimented with calibrated and non-calibrated pH meters in Chemistry and finally made capsules in Pharmacology.
It was a packed day and we were made to feel so welcome by the university staff and students alike.
