Abstract: Aims and objectives We have reported previously through the STAR project at the University of Ulster (McClean et al., 2006), on developments and enhancements made to the teaching of chemistry to year one bioscience students using a raft of measures to support the student learning experience and ease transition. Further reflection on our practice led to a deeper consideration of year one chemistry practical classes, and how these may enhance inclusivity and contribute to students building friendship networks during semester one, particularly in a large year one class. This development is timely in the light of recent articles looking specifically at the delivery of laboratory classes in higher education (Collis et al., 2007, 2008; Adams, 2009).
