Josh Howgego, PhD chemistry student at the University of Bristol, looks at some websites that may be of interest to chemistry teachers.

Need a short video to lighten up a lesson? Look no further than video journalist Brady Haran's very lovely website, the Periodic Table of Videos. Here you will find a video for every element, most just a few minutes long. They make a great, short introduction to an element, complete with demonstrations (which are especially interesting for the alkali metals!) 

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

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
