The ASE is delighted to be hosting its’ 2027 Annual Conference at the University of Northampton from 7th to 9th January.

Yes you can!

Saturday January 9, 2027 13:35 - 15:40 GMT

CH314 (Creative Hub Level 3)

The ASE H&S Group is delighted to run a demonstration workshop for science teachers that shows a range of exciting and eye-catching practical activities, but often thought to be banned or restricted owing to the risks if the activities are carried out wrongly. These demonstrations are great for helping students understand science and get excited about it.

This session will focus on how to undertake these activities to inspire students, and how to do them safely by planning carefully and following the proper safety precautions. It is about using risk assessment as an enabling tool, not a barrier.
