You are invited to prepare for the new VCE Chemistry Study Design:
- Hear from an expert in extracting, testing and analysing useful
chemicals from marine and terrestrial resources, including native plants.
- Test out some new laboratory investigations on extracting, separating,
testing, and analysing chemicals such as Vitamin C and essential oils
from plant material. Extraction techniques will include thin layer
chromatography, hydrodistillation and coffee machine extraction.
- Participate in analysis of the essential oil present in the distillate using
the data obtained from NMR, FTIR and GC-MS instruments. These
instruments may be viewed in an optional tour at the end of the day.
- Learn how to conduct a volumetric analysis of the concentration of
Vitamin C in a variety of native plants and investigations of the effect of
changing experimental conditions.
- Participate in a workshop unpacking the revised poster task with Maria
James based evaluating student posters related to Vitamin C analysis.
- Take home a booklet of all the experiments presented on the day.
Copyright-free digital copies for your use at school will be emailed to
