Design Your Own Fireworks Show! For full video see Week 1

Objectives To be aware of chemistry and physics used outside academia To understand and develop the transferable skills employers look for To learn some fun chemistry along the way

What Employers Want Skills that employers felt were lacking in new chemistry grads: –Team-working –Writing –Presentation and verbal communication –Industrial knowledge –Time management/organisation –Numeracy –Independent learning and problem solving RSC suggests CPBL

Context and Problem Based Leanring What is CPBL? –Open ended problems with no “real” answer –Allows the opportunity to learn for yourself –More like real life

Why are we doing this? Examples of transferable skills for jobs/placements Practice for assessments and learning style in year 3 No boring lectures! Prizes….

Skills to be learnt Scientific Skills Gas law Mechanics Emission spectra Combustion Risk Assessments/ Health and Safety Costing chemicals Commercial/Industrial Awareness Transferable Skills Written and Verbal Communication Teamwork Decision Making Analytical and critical thinking Independent learning Time management Budgeting Problem Solving

What are you going to do? Outline of the Project Quick discussion of Context and Problem Based Learning Short group task One week group task on how to make fireworks Three week group task on designing a full show

Why Problem Solving? “it must be more important to be skilled in thinking, than to be stuffed with facts”, Edward de Bono Chemistry is not just about learning stuff Need to be able to think critically and creatively, to question and to estimate and make judgements No “right” answer! We will hand each group a question and you will have 20 minutes to estimate the answer.

Role Selection 1 Numerate Leadership Planning Organisation 2 Spatially Aware Creative Computer skills Artistic 3 Spatially Aware Attention to detail Good at maths Good with diagrams 4 Observant Attention to detail Advising others Caring

Role Selection Managing DirectorCreative Director Site Manager Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor Each role has an designated expert, who you can ask for more information, help and guidance.

Meet with the experts

Next week A manufacturing task Introduction to the longer display project Don’t forget your briefs and other documents!

Design Your Own Fireworks Show! For full video see Week 1

Meet your group Introduce yourselves Decide on a company name – 5 mins Don’t forget to trade contact information!

Where are we now? Outline of the Project Quick discussion of Context and Problem Based Learning Short group task One week group task on how to make fireworks Three week group task on designing a full show

Manufacturing Task How do you make a 3 inch shell? How much does just one 3 inch shell cost to make? You and your group are going to act as a small pyrotechnics manufacturing company. Make a list of the parts needed and the cost of each part, for making a 3 inch red shell, including all necessary casings and fuses, etc. –Assume you have all large electrical equipment, such as ball mills. –Assume you have plenty of black powder already prepared. –When budgeting, make sure to keep in mind cost, shipping and of course, safety. Estimate the amount of 75:15:10 black powder needed as a lift charge for your firework.

How about those fireworks? Which element made the colour in your firework? Why? What were some of the the important ingredients in your firework? How much does your cheapest ingredient cost? In what quantity? Have you thought about packaging and binding agents?

What have we done so far? Outline of the Project Quick discussion of Context and Problem Based Learning Short group task and some basic questions Group task on how to make fireworks Three week group task on designing a full show

Event Order Form Request from the University £2000 budget 3 minute show Which site? Press release Bidding –Presentation –Simulation Field 1 Field 2

Simulation Software Game based on real simulation software Finale Fireworks Upload any mp3 Save as a mp4 video and use in your presentationmp4 video

Write a Press Release As a part of the bid, it has been requested that you write two short articles about a novel development in fireworks technology: –One for the chemistry department undergraduates –One for a local newspaper. You will be provided with examples: –Journal of Pyrotechnics –New Scientist –Chemistry World

The next few weeks DateTimeVenue Tues 6 th March (week 23) 2:15 – 3:15 2:15 – 4:15 2W UN Hall 3S Comp lab Discuss writing task Decide on allocation of other tasks Plan your time Tues 13 th March (week 24) 2:15 – 4:153S Comp lab Experts available Computer software Meet in groups Tues 27 th March (week 26) 2:15 – 4:151S 0.01Presentations Hand in paperwork Evaluation and doughnuts!
