On 17th September we had two teams of Year 11 students compete in the annual Year 11 ARA Chemistry competition.

Burnside team 1 consisted of James Wang, Grady Kenix and Ritvik Sharma.  Burnside team 2 consisted of Carl Khor, Jacky Zhang and Oscar Chin. The teams competed against thirteen other teams to carry out three Chemistry tasks over a sixty minute period. The first task required them to complete a reading around climate change and then put forward an argument for a government response and an individual response. Task two was using chemical tests to identify six unknown white solid chemicals and the last task was using further chemical tests to identify six unknown colourless solutions. This is a big ask to complete all activities in only sixty minutes and both teams did really well dividing up the tasks and working to complete all three activities. Well done on a great effort!
