In January science teachers and students at Parkview Community School, Chester-le-Street were the first to unpack Spectroscopy in a Suitcase. What did they find?

The Spectroscopy in a Suitcase (SIAS) project is part of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)-led Chemistry for our future (CFOF) initiative, funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). Launched in the north-east region, at Parkview Community School, Chester-le-Street, the pilot project aims to provide local schools and colleges with portable, state-of-the-art equipment designed to help teachers demonstrate the principles of optical spectroscopy and provide hands-on experiments for Key Stages 3-5.
