  3. The Rwandan National Examinations Council is examining students on science experiments for the very first time this year Speaking to The New Times, Apred Headmaster, Andrew, said, ‘We have been teaching science subjects theoretically, but now that there are going to be practical exams …… the acceptance of trainers from the RSC to train our teachers in chemistry practical has come at the right time and clearly demonstrates that they have great affection for the people of Rwanda’

  4. The team Willy Alex Pat Jean

  5. Qualitative analysis We had to start with OL work, because teachers had very little practical experience; chemistry on re-useable plastic sheets was also new!

  6. Teachers knew the theory, but a reaction such as this confirmatory test for lead ions was unfamiliar

  7. This double indicator titration gave a first taste of volumetric skills for many

  8. Alex explains the theory behind using two indicators to analyse a mixture

  9. Titration of hydrogen peroxide solution with potassium manganate (VII) Our team approach helped teachers to develop the precision expected by examiners

  10. Observing a silver mirror for the first time was exciting ………….. ……… but most needed help in the interpretation of organic reactions

  11. By day 3 teachers could easily explain their thiosulphate titration to a visiting scientist

  12. They enjoyed the practical!

  13. The chemical tie! and the only female delegate!

  14. Presentation of attendance certificates by Jean and Andrew

  15. The end of a successful course
