°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ Schools Analyst Competition, South West Region

25 January 2017 10:00-16:00, Plymouth, United Kingdom


Introduction
The Schools Analyst Competition is a national competition run by the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼’s Analytical Division for first year 6th Form or equivalent.  The competition has two stages: regional heats and a national final, where up to 16 regional heat winners compete for the Challenge Shield and significant cash prizes for themselves and their schools.
 
A regional heat for this competition will be held at the Centre for Chemical Sciences, Plymouth University, on Wednesday 25th January 2017. This will be an all-day event, (10.00 to 16.00), where teams of 3 students will be required to undertake some practical analytical exercises based on problems relevant to industrial or social needs.  Most of the tasks will be linked to the A-level curriculum, using equipment and concepts familiar to the students such as spot tests and titrations. Some tasks will use techniques and equipment not available in most schools, such as spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography.  It is designed to be both fun and educational.
 
The winning team will be invited to attend the national finals of the event. This year, we are happy to support colleges by funding transport to and from the campus but we are unable to provide lunch for students.
