Endpoint: Andrea Sella has the last word

Friends of mine who teach biology, economics, or history have often expressed envy at the wonderful toys we chemists have to play with. How easy it must be, they say, to excite others about chemistry, to bring the subject alive in front of an audience, and to be able to provoke gasps of surprise and astonishment.

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".
