The 6th Year Chemistry class carried out the saponification experiment today, successfully converting fats into soap through careful refluxing and distillation.
Students worked with real precision as they watched the reaction mixture thicken, before adding it to brine to “salt out” and isolate their final soap product.
The class demonstrated excellent teamwork, strong practical skills, and plenty of scientific curiosity throughout the investigation.
A special well done to the winning team of Grace, Katie, Natasha, and Niamh, whose soap was judged the highest quality by their classmates — an outstanding achievement! They truly rose to the surface, delivering a soap-erb final product, and created quite a lather!!
