For the chemistry excursion, on Friday, we visited ANSTO at Lucas Heights. ANSTO stands for Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation.
The trip involved an in-depth and detailed introduction and tour around some of ANSTO facilities and what they do. Throughout the day, we were able to explore nuclear science technology and information which relates to our current in-class module. We were able to watch practical investigations that solidified our understanding, giving us, in a sense, a visual learning experience that we wouldn't be able to have in school. It was a greatly beneficial experience, we learnt plenty of which we were able to apply to our studies and our current assessment. Hopefully, we can go on similar excursions in the future
