      My favourite subject was in fact Chemistry! and my most favourite thing to do was the experiments of course, but my favourite two experiments were making soap; this was when we were learning about esters; and in my advanced higher class i got to make aspirin as part of my project!

      My favourite science subject in school was Chemistry! I remember in high school we did an experiment where we were learning about polymers, and we got to make slime and then take it home. That was really fun. Also, my teacher used to set things on fire a lot to teach us about oxidation!

      I always loved to make science posters and presented to compete with other students. I always wanted to make my poster really interesting so that it stands out.

      Chemistry was always my favourite science at school… there seemed a little more risk and fun in chemistry than physics and biology.

      Hey Amelia, I loved doing all the experiments in Chemistry at school. Loads which involved pretty colours! I remember burning different solids which changed the colour of the flame – when atoms are heated they move to an “excited” state, when they return down to their normal state they release the energy in the form of light, the wavelength of the light released effects the colour we see! It’s this theory that is used in making beautiful fireworks!
