Resources to support your organic chemistry teaching

To help you boost your students’ understanding of organic chemistry, we have produced 37 new worksheets to support key topics for students aged 14 to 16. Our ‘knowledge check’ worksheets provide a set of questions to assess learning of each topic, helping you to see how much your students have understood, and our ‘in context’ worksheets ask students to apply their knowledge to interesting contexts from everyday life and help embed mathematical skills as your students go along.

Both types of worksheet have answers provided, and offer foundation and higher options.

Chemistry for All: virtual results launch and discussion

Wednesday 11 & Tuesday 17 November

Is chemistry accessible for all? Our study, which draws on evidence from five years of outreach in disadvantaged schools, shows that the answer, currently, is no. But this can change.

Join us at this revealing virtual event to discover the evidence that researchers, outreach providers, schools, teachers and policymakers can use to make effective improvements, and to discuss what we can do to remove the barriers that harm student aspirations and attitudes in the chemical sciences.
