Resource
Making Medicines
An interactive resource from ABPI covering the process of making of medicines from research and development to to manufacture.
Resource
Materials and their properties
A database of 31 everyday materials, man made and natural, solid and liquid, transparent and opaque, allow children to explore these and many other properties. Courtesy of the ABPI.
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.
