Year 8 pupils James Douie, Paul Vallis, Kevin Vandabona and Jeremy Eason have beaten 16 schools from across the South West to win the Salter's Chemistry Festival Challenge.
Held at the University of Plymouth, the competition participants had to identify a crime suspect using chemical tests and chromatography methods. The Plymouth College team walked away with a set molecule modelling kits as their prize for coming first.
The day came to a lively end with a demonstration of explosions by guest lecturer and firework expert, Roy Lowry.
