Resource
Making Medicines

An interactive resource from ABPI covering the process of making of medicines from research and development to to manufacture.
Resource
Solids, Liquids and Gases

Cartoon animations that explain in simple terms why different materials have different properties and how they change on heating and cooling. Other animations cover separating solids from liquids and show what happens to a solid when it dissolves in a liquid. Courtesy of the ABPI.
Resource
Interactive periodic table game

An interactive game. Test your knowledge of the periodic table- exploring trends and patterns in elements and their positions in the table. Courtesy of ABPI.
