The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) launches a USB version of the interactive AS/Alevel web tool, LabSkills

In April, The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) launched a USB version of LabSkills, the interactive AS/A-level web tool, developed by chemists at the University of Bristol, which allows students do pre-lab work ahead of practical classes, so maximising the quality of the time they spend in the lab. With funding from the Training and Development Agency for schools (TDA), the RSC is making available to teachers, on request, the USB version of LabSkills as part of its aims to support chemistry teachers and enhance practical science in the classroom.

Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor.
