This week, our Year 11 students dove into an exciting chemistry experiment to investigate the reactivity series of metals. Through hands-on learning, they explored how different metals react with acids and water, understanding the order of reactivity and its practical applications.
What is this experiment for?
This activity helps students understand how metals behave chemically, equipping them with foundational knowledge for topics like corrosion, metal extraction, and industrial applications.
Skills Developed:
There are some metals like lithium and magnesium that go a long way in being used in making batteries. Metals like aluminium, which is right here, would also be used in making aeroplane parts. It has its own unique properties, like not very reactive, so it will not corrode easily. And there are so many other applications that this could inspire.
With a hands-on experiment, the students will definitely remember how these metals would react.
Ioana, our Romanian Year 12 student at CIS Skolkovo, got a unique opportunity this year to go to Korea for MUN (Model United Nations), a large—scale event where guys from different countries play the role of UN delegates and strive to solve acute social problems. This conference is hosted by Yale University and is needed to awaken civic engagement in schoolchildren from all over the world. After all, the future of the planet belongs to the younger generation!
It is a very stressful time preparing for exams and it is something that we have all been through and will all go through multiple times as we go through life and education.
We interviewed CIS graduates about their plans to graduate from Cambridge International School.
