Our Year 7 Science classroom was buzzing with excitement as students took a significant step in their scientific education earning their Bunsen burner licenses. The training session was not just about handling flames; it was a rite of passage for these young learners, symbolising a deeper dive into the fascinating world of scientific discovery.
 Equipped with goggles and an eagerness to learn, the students engaged in a hands on lesson on how to safely use Bunsen burners, a crucial tool in any science lab. This practical experience is designed to ignite a spark of curiosity and foster a deeper understanding of scientific principles by allowing students to conduct experiments that demonstrate real world chemical reactions.
Observing these students as they learn the ropes of laboratory work is always exhilarating. Not only are they introduced to foundational scientific practices, but they are also encouraged to explore and question the world around them safely and responsibly.
At Bendigo South East College, we are committed to providing our students with comprehensive educational experiences that blend theory with practical applications. This Bunsen burner training is just one of the many ways we are preparing our students to become the innovative thinkers and problem solvers of tomorrow.
