Inspirational chemistry

Chemistry is an exciting subject that is continually developing and changing to meet the challenges of our modern world. The Royal Society of Chemistry is pleased to be able to provide these resources to support teaching.

The experiments and resources range from new approaches to basic science (such as rates and rhubarb) to modern developments such as combinatorial chemistry and nanochemistry. There is a strong emphasis on sustainable development and green chemistry and it is hoped teachers will share with their students current thinking in industry and academia.

This resource was produced in response to the revision of the General Certificate of Secondary Education in England, Wales and Northern Ireland for first teaching in September 2006.

The writing paralleled the specification development and was accompanied therefore by consultation, to a greater or lesser degree, with awarding bodies.

This resource has been designed with flexibility in mind. A whole unit could be used, but often a single lesson could be based on a selection of the material, or images or interactive activities could be used to support a lesson or part of a scheme of work
