🚀 I'm working on a travelling museum exhibition showing how materials science is not only really interesting but also that it leads to fantastic spinout companies 🚀
The TEU crew taking a break from conference to stand together with our @NZEICampaigns comrades for equal pay. Hey Aotearoa #fairsfair it’s about time we had equal pay. #Voicesfromtertiary
But now I place a Nd magnet under the 1.5cm puddle and see the distortions. The complex iron ion is paramagnetic. Simple #microchemistry encouraged by @CLEAPSS provides real chemistry to illustrate #ChemEd concepts. In a little you can see a lot.
Iron(III) nitrate (Left) and potassium thiocyanate (Right) are moved into a puddle @CLEAPSS. The solids dissolve. The two solutions come together (in real time) to form the deep red complex. (Can you model this macro event in #microchemistry for #ChemEd using particles?)
