On 5th February the Science Club visited the Catalyst Museum to attend a lecture given by Professor John Kilcoyne. This involved plenty of fizzes, bangs and explosions.
It was a spectacular lecture and all pupils met the professor and were given signed autographs.

Pupils had to make decisions for the chemical engineers and other scientists involved in the chemical processes.
