Real World Chemistry

Science enthusiast Fran Scott makes GCSE chemistry come alive by finding out how huge-scale chemical processes go into producing the world's most used materials.

With her love of science and engineering, Fran Scott is on an industrial mission to find out how huge-scale chemical processes go into producing the world's most used materials.

Think about a simple glass bottle of juice and compare it to an enormous steel structure like a sports stadium - they couldn't be further apart in terms of size, but the science behind making both glass and steel demonstrates key chemical reactions on a gigantic scale.

From handling raw materials, getting up close to amazing factory machinery and inspecting the finished products fresh off the production line, Fran has an access-all-areas pass to explore and learn.

Find out what happens on the factory floor and see chemistry at work in the real world.
