Show your learners the difference that science can make and provide them with role models who are leading chemists in their fields.

This resource focuses on UN Sustainable development goal 5: achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls, and will help you teach your 14–16 learners about the women in chemistry at the cutting edge of their fields. The resource includes teacher notes, templates for creating a poster or online profile and linked social media tasks with tips to help make your learners’ writing engaging.

Thanks for using the RSC’s education resources. You can view one resource per month as a visitor, or two resources per month when you’re logged in with a personal account.
