Chemistry education continues under the Coronavirus
With schools and universities closed, we hope you’re adjusting to new ways of supporting your students.
Despite cancelling all our face-to-face events until at least the end of June, we are still here to help you in this time of uncertainty. Visit our hub for remote teaching support to find resources, articles and online meetings to support you if you’re teaching remotely.

Meet the scientists that are in their element
This Q&A style series from EiC distils the working lives of scientists and researchers to help you stay up to date with current research, areas of interest and the scientists that are leading the way.
Use these articles to demonstrate to your students that studying chemistry can lead to much more than a career in the lab.
The Great Science Share is moving online for 2020
The Great Science Share for Schools on 16 June is a perfect opportunity to encourage children to investigate their own scientific questions, develop confidence communicating their findings, and make connections with scientists and engineers in their local area.
This year’s event has been somewhat complicated by coronavirus but will not been cancelled. They are exploring a range of ways that young people can share science virtually, allowing even more children to engage positively with science this summer.
Could your school host a researcher as they train to teach?
Researchers in Schools supports people with doctorates to train to become teachers. The RiS programme allows trainees to spend a day a weak working on an education research project alongside their training.
By hosting a trainee, your school could benefit from the outcomes of their research, as well as form stronger links with universities to support your students with their career choices.
