This resource contains eight free-standing activities that can be used singly or as a coherent package in a wide range of teaching and learning situations for both academic and vocational courses. It is aimed at post-16 chemistry and science students and their teachers.

Each resource is organised into two main downloads - a student activity and a guide for teachers and technicians with equipment lists and answers. Within the student activities there are both written and practical tasks. The practical tasks are both preparative/analytical and problem-solving.

Thanks for using the RSC’s education resources. You can view one resource per month as a visitor, or two resources per month when you’re logged in with a personal account.

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".
