Activities

Chemistry is a practical subject, and thus practical
work is essential for students to gain personal experience
of science through hands-on investigation. The Chemistry
panel has organised different workshops after school
including ‘Soap production’ and ‘Turning Copper Coin into
Silver and Gold’. Besides, the Chemistry teachers use
multiple teaching methods to arouse students’ interest.
