TLC (thin layer chromatography) of food colouring and also brown, black and purple sharpie pens.
Distilling off the ethanol from our new soap after the refluxing was done...
Mini column chromatography of green food colouring.
The soap made a lather! Success! Saponification.
Open Night Chemistry demonstrations with methane, 13th November 2019
Chemistry demonstrations with dry ice, Open Night 13th Nov 2019
3rd yrs pH experiments nov 2019 and 1st yrs learning about Earth in Space through games, nov 2019.
1st yrs successfully filtering dirty water, 2nd yrs testing for pH, 1st year discussion of what 'pure' means, immiscible liquids used to make a lava lamp, 3rd years in maths working together, a liebig condenser in action (term 1 2019).
3rd year Science students are currently working with PhD student Adriana. They are learning about the Earth and Space strand through non-digital games. Also below are 3rd yr maths students engaged in a quadratics graph matching activity (Sept/Oct 2019).
6th yrs extracting eugenol by steam distillation (Sept 2019)
Fab crystals made by Sci club term 1, 2018. Well done all!
Fun with dry ice! and 5th yr Chem.
Some photos from Sci club activities

Climate change
Microbiomes activity
2nd years investigating some acids and bases.
Fabulous view of Dublin from the top of the Trinity building - where we were doing some experiments for JC relating to Climate Change.
The area around Birr Castle, where the telescope is, is very quiet. It is perfect for i-LOFAR (the Irish low frequency array). Scientists from all over Europe use the data gathered here to find out more about the origins of the Universe. You can see it in the photo above.
THE GREAT TELESCOPE. In the early 1840's, the Third Earl of Rosse designed and built the largest telescope in the world. With this telescope, he discovered the spiral nature of some of the galaxies, and from 1845-1914, anyone wishing to witness this phenomenon had to come to Birr.
Zippie chemistry!

POLLUTION!
The sulfur dioxide and the oxides of nitrogen create acid gases that mix with
the vapour from lakes and seas and react to create acidic rain which pores
into forests and the trees drink the poisonous fluid and suffer a slow and
painful death. It also pores into fresh water and salt water lakes and then
the fish filter the polluted oxygen through their gills and choke it also
eats through the stone and dirt making land smaller by the millimeter. Yep
that's the problem with technology!
