The Department of Chemistry and Physics (DCP) at the College of Natural and Applied Sciences (CoNAS) of the Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) trains students in chemistry and Physics. Emphasis is given to ensuring that learners acquire practical skills.
Students from Alfagems Secondary School located at Nanenane in Morogoro municipality, accompanied by their instructors, visited the DCP for a learning tour. The visit was organized by their instructor, Dr. Frank Rwegoshora, who informed the department that the tour trip came after teaching his students about the determination of relative molecular masses of elements and various compounds. To enhance practical applications, the students visited the department to acquire exposure to Mass Spectrometry, which uses molecular weights to determine the structures of various organic compounds. The students were inspired by seeing how the instrument works to produce spectra.
