Sensible stuff from slime!

The CHEMISTRY AT WORK  day held recently at Manorcroft School, Egham was a great opportunity for 400 keen budding chemists to meet real scientist from P&G, Air Products, University of Surrey and Royal Holloway. 

Children and staff got stuck into bath bombs, making slime ad good and bad bugs with the help of volunteer scientists working with SATRO and the 'real' scientists from the companies - a great way to find out  more about the working world of chemistry.

People in white coats were seen in the corridors and at least one pupil is looking forward to a career in Science! " I would love to do this and be a scientist and do lab stuff"

"We learnt all sorts of things - how to make moisturiser and how to make acid rain" (though hopefully not at the same time!
