Team Bring It - Investigating Molar Concentration!
This week ‘team bring it’ investigated molar concentration. This was done by making drinks at varying levels of concentration. Through this fun and exciting practical the students found the concept simple and easy to understand. Students were assigned the task to make several volumes of drinks of different concentration. This involved calculating the moles and then the mass of the powder that was needed. Students then sampled the drinks and were able to compare the concentration.
The team would like to thank Mr Miley for his support by attending the session and sampling the drinks.
