    "UNIVERSITY APPLICATIONS - WRITING PERSONAL STATEMENTS AND PREPARING FOR INTERVIEWS"



    Dr Adrian Wright, Senior Admissions Tutor, School of Chemistry, University of Birmingham.

    Personal statements within UCAS applications are your opportunity to describe yourself, your passion for your subject and why you would make an excellent student.

    Dr Wright will use his many years of experience to describe what makes a good personal statement and how to decide on what to include.

    For those applying for courses with interview selection, he will also cover how to prepare for interviews and what interviewers are really looking for.

    Dr Adrian Wright is the Senior Admissions Tutor and Reader in Inorganic Chemistry at the School of Chemistry, University of Birmingham. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. He has over 10 years experience in University Admissions, both at subject level and across the University.

    "MAGIC MOLECULES: THE MAGIC OF OXYGEN"



    Exciting Chemistry to delight and fascinate the young audience of future Chemists.

    Presented by Dr Mike Batham and Dr Rob Janes, Open University

    The Magic of Oxygen is all about the weird and wonderful properties of atoms and molecules, and one of the most important molecules is oxygen. You can expect a few flashes and bangs along the way as some explosive mixtures are conjured up as our presenters entertain you with a light-hearted look at the work of scientists such as Boyle, Newton and Priestley, and recreate some of their experiments in unusual ways.

    Plenty of bizarre and often unpredictable experiments are included, such as
    . How to find a genie in a teapot
    . How to make toothpaste for an elephant
    . An extraordinary use for marshmallows, and
    . How to make fire from water.
