To introduce students to an extended piece of practical chemistry involving planning and executing experimental work and reporting the results in a number of formats. Transferable skills such as communication and teamwork will be emphasised. After completing this Unit, students should be able to:
* Demonstrate skills in planning and executing practical problems in Chemistry;
* Work in a team - allocation and correlation of tasks and collection of data;
* Present the results of an investigation in written report and poster formats;
* Demonstrate experimental skills appropriate to the chosen project to a high level;
* Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of techniques used;
* Present a new technique not covered in the main course.

Content:
Students will work in small groups on problems of an investigative nature selected from a list of available projects. A problem will be set and appropriate experimental protocols will need to be researched and designed. After completion of the work, a variety of reporting formats will be used (poster, report) to emphasise students' communication skills. An oral presentation demonstrating a technique not covered in the main practical course will be given.
