This podcast takes listeners on an engaging journey through the world of science, featuring conversations with Year 9 students from Cheney School. Through hands-on experiments and thought-provoking discussions, we explore key scientific concepts- starting with distillation, filtration, and the fascinating chemistry of orange oil, uncovering its unique properties and applications. The journey continues with an exploration of the periodic table, where we examine the vibrant colours metals produce when ignited, revealing the underlying principles behind these striking reactions.
The discussion then shifts to the surprising genetic history of the lemon- tracing its evolution as a man-made fruit, a cross between a citron and a bitter orange. Using genome mapping, we track its development, uncovering the science behind its origins. But beyond the experiments and discoveries, this episode reflects on the joy of asking questions, the thrill of uncovering new knowledge, and the rewarding experience of sharing science in an engaging way.
