Four of our Sixth Form students attended the Chemistry Race at Oxford University. The event took place in the Inorganic Teaching Lab and the students heard about the amazing work currently being done at Oxford, as well as some historic work by the great Dorothy Hodgkin.

It was the first time we have entered the event, and it was quite interesting to see how some teams had huge bags of undergraduate level textbooks with them! We were sitting about middle table at the end of the event, out of about 40 schools, and a great time was had by all!

It has been a pleasure for the four of us to join the Chemistry Race this year. We tried our best
to answer some challenging but interesting questions. I have discovered more about different
aspects of Chemistry such as how Lithium batteries work and the concentration of Potassium in a
banana. The event was really fun and has made me enjoy doing Chemistry more than I ever
did before.
