The Salters' Festival of Chemistry is a series of Chemistry competitions organised by the Salters' Institute and hosted by University Chemistry departments around the country. Teams of 4 students from independent and state schools compete in two practical challenges. The Year 8 team of Stuart, Marita, Tobiah and Hollie showed excellent Chemistry skills and great teamwork and were awarded with first prize in the 'University Challenge'. The students were then treated to a demonstration of explosions and fun experiments and got to sample ice cream made with liquid nitrogen.
