Teaching spaces for chemistry (and science) learning vary across the nations, from school to school. This article gives an insight into the teaching and learning spaces at a school in Scotland, with two teachers of chemistry sharing how they use the labs and other areas, as well as their approach to embedding technology in their science teaching.
