This is a problem solving lesson where students develop their understanding of the following areas:

Choosing a systematic way to collect and organise data including;

• constructing tables
• two-way tables
• frequency charts

and interpreting findings clearly and...

This annual celebration of the chemical sciences is coordinated by the Royal Society of Chemistry. In 2023 the theme was 'Chemistry making the world a better place'. This was an opportunity to introduce students to the critical challenges faced by the planet and how the chemical sciences can address these.

whynotchemeng was set up by the Institute of Chemical Engineers (iChemE) to encourage students to consider careers in chemical, biochemical or process engineering. The resources are designed to give information for students, teachers, careers specialists and parents. The Top 10 Flash Bang videos have been produced...

The Chemist in Action was designed to give students a more complete picture of the work of the technologist in a number of carefully selected areas than could be provided in the Student Books. In particular its aims were:
*to provide examples in the modern chemical...

Charlotte is a Pollution, Prevention and Control Officer for the Environment Agency - "you could say I'm a policeman for the environment". In the video Charlotte explains that she found it a challenge being a woman in chemical engineering but had support from her university professor. The Environment Agency offered...

This resource can be used to demonstrate an understanding of the role of antioxidants in food processing to delay oxidation. A data based activity analyses types of fat in foods and an investigation into the browning of apples under varying conditions allows a quantitative measure of the oxidation reaction. 

A balloon provides a simple example of how a rocket engine works. The air trapped inside the balloon pushes out the open end, causing the balloon to move forward. The force of the air escaping is the “action”; the movement of the balloon forward is the “reaction” predicted by Newton’s Third Law of Motion.

In this lesson, students explore the functional properties of food. They learn about the Maillard reaction, dextrinisation, caramelisation, gelatinisation and other characteristics of carbohydrates as well as the properties of protein and fats and how these contribute to the appearance, taste and texture of food....

This booklet contains a range of suggested activities and contexts for teaching organic chemistry at A level. Curriculum links include nomenclature, formulae, isomerism, reaction mechanisms, synthesis, and cracking.

Although produced to support the teaching of OCR AS/A Level Chemistry B (Salters), ...

The EU has recently approved tough new measures to reduce the use of plastic bags. New targets aim to reduce plastic bag use by 80% before 2019. In this activity students examine degradable plastic bags as a possible alternative to ordinary plastic bags. They choose questions to ask experts, and come to a reasoned...

This resource from Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS) describes the work of Charles Darwin on carnivorous plants to determine what causes the leaves to curl up when stimulated.

Darwin’s experiments are very easy...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Recognise that an element symbol in a chemical equation can represent a giant covalent structure.
• Recognise that a chemical formula can represent a giant covalent structure.
