The first task of the day was to go down the town and collect iron tablets from the local pharmacy for a first year experiment. We had to wait a while for them to get the order ready as there was such a large amount.
Once we got back we went down to the labs downstairs with Walter and two other work experience students. We had to clean all of the electronic balances as they can get rusty if them are not cleaned properly as the chemicals can choroid the steel. At 11:00 we all went for a small coffee break.
After our break we returned to the labs and cleaned all of the work benches with bleach. Afterwards, Walter brought us into the prep room of the lab and showed us all of the sop watches used for the different experiments. It was our job to change all of the batteries in the stopwatches and made sure that them were all working well.
Just before lunch we set up the entire lab for a first year practical. we had to make sure that each desk had it's own sufficient glass ware need for the experiment. We went for lunch at 1:00.
When we came back from lunch we went to a small board room with Dona and carol, the two sectaries of the chemistry department. They explained that we had to put a sticker with an ID number on each sheet of graph paper, which would be used for the end of term exams. Once we were finished with all that Ken allowed us to go home early as we had completed all of the jobs he had lined up for us today.
