Hemaya Schools Organize the Arab Chemistry Week

As part of the Arab world’s celebration of Arab Chemistry Week, and under the patronage of Lt. Col. Abdullah Al-Suwaidi, Director of Hemaya Schools Office for Education, the Science Club Team at Hemaya Boys School (Cycle 3), in collaboration with Hemaya Girls School, organized a distinguished scientific event titled “Chemistry in Our Lives.”

The event aimed to raise awareness about the importance of chemistry in various aspects of life and highlight its role in advancing societies through creativity and sustainability.

The Chemistry Exhibition featured a variety of engaging activities and presentations. Students from Hemaya Boys School delivered a presentation on Forensic Chemistry, showcasing the applications of chemistry in crime detection and evidence analysis. Meanwhile, students from Hemaya Girls School presented an interactive demonstration simulating forensic laboratory work, using chemical analysis techniques to investigate a mock crime scene.

Boys’ students also performed a series of “Magic of Chemistry” experiments that captivated the audience, explaining the scientific principles behind each experiment in an enjoyable and simplified manner. The exhibition included a Laboratory Tools Corner, where students demonstrated the safe and proper use of laboratory equipment, emphasizing the importance of hands-on learning in science education.

To further link theory with practice, students explored everyday chemistry through a practical demonstration on soap-making and an educational presentation on food chemistry and its impact on health and nutrition.

The event concluded with interactive scientific discussions between students and attendees, showcasing their passion for scientific inquiry and experimentation. The discussions contributed to enhancing their research and analytical skills while spreading awareness of chemistry’s vital role in industry, health, environment, and food.

Through this event, Hemaya Schools’ students embodied the spirit of scientific creativity, reinforcing the idea that chemistry is not just a laboratory science — it is an essential part of our daily lives.

The event was supervised by Mr. Samer Zaytoun.
