Hands-on ideas

CLEAPSS were on hand at the practical hub to showcase new practical techniques and ideas for the classroom. You loved this picture of their microscale approach to ammonia chemistry.

Also available for teachers to try were student worksheets on:

  • Investigating iron chemistry
  • Exploring equilibria
  • Micro-electrolysis of copper(II) chloride solution

And many more! Download these and the other hands-on science resources they showcased from their website.
