After the psychology lecture we headed over to the chemistry teaching labs in the Joseph Black building.

I had read the prelab preparation materials and was a little worried I wouldn’t be able to do it!!! We worked in pairs and thankfully my lab partner kept me on the correct path.

We carried out two exothermic reactions. The experiments we did are the same ones as first year chemistry students.

We were lucky though – we didn’t have to write the lab up for assessment. The labs that the university students do count towards their final grade.

Both very impressive experiments. I have videos but I’ll have to work out how to upload them so check back later.
