As of Tuesday, 11 October, Union High School boasts probably the most modern science classroom in the Eastern Cape.

The recently refurbished classroom was unveiled to learners and staff at the start of the 4th term and, going forward, will help create many a โ€œwow momentโ€ in education for Unionโ€™s learners.

โ€œOur dream was to convey the study of chemistry and science with as much enthusiasm as possible. It is so much easier with the right tools, technology and infrastructure,โ€ said Mr Langmead, Unionโ€™s Governing Body vice-chair. โ€œWhat we now have is a visually stimulating high-tech space, where we can place special emphasis on experimental learning, enriched by media and electronic support.โ€

It is light, embracing, crisp, and colourful. The space celebrates the spirit of science and chemistry, the cobalt blue, the flame of the Bunsen burner, the array of the periodic table, and the endless chains of chemical compounds.

It is geared perfectly for practical demonstration. This is further complimented by an interactive digital teaching screen with excellent audio features. ๐™๐™๐™ž๐™จ ๐™˜๐™ก๐™–๐™จ๐™จ๐™ง๐™ค๐™ค๐™ข ๐™๐™–๐™จ ๐™ฅ๐™ก๐™–๐™˜๐™š๐™™ ๐™๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃโ€™๐™จ ๐™ฉ๐™š๐™–๐™˜๐™๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™จ๐™ฅ๐™–๐™˜๐™š ๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™š๐™™๐™œ๐™š ๐™ค๐™› ๐™ฌ๐™๐™š๐™ง๐™š ๐™š๐™™๐™ช๐™˜๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ ๐™ž๐™จ ๐™œ๐™ค๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™ค ๐™–๐™ฃ ๐™š๐™ญ๐™˜๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™›๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™ช๐™ง๐™š.
