New videos to help you teach practical skills
We have developed a new set of videos of common investigations, for 14–16 learners, to support you with teaching practical skills. Each video comes with a variety of resources that will help you maximise your learning and support you to run the live practical. These new videos build on our existing range of resources for practicals carried out by both 14–16 and 16–18 year olds, and cover topics including:
- Conservation of mass
- Electrolysis of an aqueous solution
- Halogen displacement reactions
Join our Steps into Science launch events
Our new website brings together all the primary science resources from the Royal Society of Chemistry
Designed to help primary teachers simplify science and bust misconceptions, Steps into Science can help build your confidence in teaching science with curated, primary-specific resources and fresh ideas for making your lessons accessible, inclusive and engaging – whether you’re in the classroom or teaching online. Join one of our launch events to find out more.
Don’t miss out on National Careers Week (1–6 March)
We’re celebrating National Careers Week with the launch of a new series of career videos, highlighting various careers in chemical sciences. These videos are part of our ongoing Chemistry: Making the Difference campaign and will be shared on various platforms, including our new TikTok channel.
We will also be holding an Instagram LIVE session at 12.30 on 3 March, where you and your students can join the conversation, and we’ll have a virtual stand at the National Careers Fair 2021 – come and explore our resources with your students!
Support LGBT+ students and teachers in your school
To create an environment where the best scientists can flourish and the best science can be done, we need to make sure everyone feels comfortable. Taking concrete steps towards greater LGBT+ inclusivity is a key part of fostering diverse and welcoming scientific workplaces – and that starts in the classroom.
We've created resources that tackle key issues faced by LGBT+ physical scientists and provide tools for everyone to take part in positive change. One of the resources in our toolkit addresses issues specific to teachers.
Help us improve the education website for future users
We are currently working on improvements to the registration process for the education website and we’re looking for volunteers to participate in user testing. If you have an interest or role in education, you’re invited to take part.
The first round of user testing will take place during the week beginning 15 March and should take about 30 minutes.
New mentors available for CChem applicants
Boost your professional development with our new service, CChem mentors, for Chartered Chemist (CChem) applicants.
In response to your feedback, we have pulled together a group of experienced mentors who can help you with your development towards CChem status. With rich and varied backgrounds from industry and academia they’ll help you to frame your progression, build your connections and gain recognition for your impact in the chemical sciences.
