Recently, BIS students have been focused on their academic assessments. In the meantime, we’d like to share a glimpse of a lively Year 7 chemistry lesson: ordinary sugar transformed under students’ hands into dazzling crystals, bringing the joy of hands-on learning and discovery.
From Sugar to Sparkle: Year 7 Lab Adventure
Written by Mr. Jack, December 2025
Recrystallization is not just a classic fundamental chemistry experiment—it’s a fantastic hands-on adventure that lets kids master material purification in the most engaging way. Recently, year 7 students dived into this fun-filled experiment using nothing more than everyday powdered sugar and food coloring—items you can easily find in any kitchen.
In the lab, the students followed safety guidelines strictly, recalling what they’d learned in class as they worked through each step with focus and happiness. Imagine their delight and pride when those plain, ordinary sugar powder slowly transformed under their fingertips into stunning, large crystals with different colors! That wonderful sense of achievement from “creating something amazing with their own hands” blossoms into confidence and a real passion for learning, giving their academic progress a genuine, lasting boost.Notably, the experiment was done in groups. As they faced real challenges along the way, the kids learned to communicate, coordinate, and work through disagreements together through lively discussions. This whole process doesn’t just build their teamwork skills—it also improves their English communication abilities, helping them express ideas clearly and confidently.
Experimental classes turn abstract science into something tangible and exciting. Moving forward, we’ll keep offering more wonderful practical courses to accompany our students on their joyful journey of scientific discovery.
