With the continual advancement in scientific technologies, operating complex science equipment has become as simple as pressing a couple of buttons and waiting for the machine to display a value. Unfortunately, this does not allow the operator to fully appreciate the underlying science that affords them the luxury of a “click and read” process.

By removing this “black box” and unveiling what is going on, as well as giving the students a chance to physically build and test their own colorimeter, it is envisaged that the students will gain a deeper and broader understanding of the underlying physics and chemistry principles and remove the veil of “mystery” that often surrounds such scientific equipment.

This session can be delivered at your school/college or can be delivered in The School of Chemical & Physical Science at Keele University.
